Answer to Question 1

e

Answer to Question 2

A normal star is supported by energy flowing outward from its core, but a white dwarf can't generate energy by nuclear fusion. It has exhausted its hydrogen and helium fuels and converted them into carbon and oxygen. When a star collapses into a white dwarf, it converts gravitational energy into thermal energy. Its interior becomes very hot, but it can't get hot enough to fuse its carbon-oxygen interior. Instead the star contracts until it becomes degenerate. The white dwarf is supported against its own gravity by the pressure of its degenerate electrons.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
