Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The innermost layer of the epidermis is composed of living cells and is called the basal layer, stratum basale, or stratum germinativum, indicating its role in germinating new cells. The outer layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum or horny layer, is relatively waterproof and provides a barrier against light, heat, bacteria, and other foreign substances.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Leukocytes destroy pathogens and develop immunity against diseases. Platelets or thrombocytes play a major role in the clotting of blood. Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, carry the oxygen needed for cellular respiration.
