The statement 'Skin cells and epithelial cells each make a different set of proteins, which determines each cell type's structure and function.' is correct. It is known as differentiation.

<h3>What is differentiation?</h3>

Differentiation refers to the cellular phenomenon for which different genes are expressed in specific cell types.

Differentiation leads to the formation of different cell types that have specific functions/roles.

Differentiation depends on gene expression pattern that influences the type and amount of proteins in a given cell.

Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?. The cells are too large.. The cells are inactive.. The cells are damag
anygoal [31]

The right answer is The cells are damaged.

Take the example of skin cells.  

The skin consists of two tissues:

* the outermost, the epidermis, resting on a vascularized connective tissue,

* the dermis.

In the epidermis, which includes several layers of cells, the outer layer is formed of dead cells that are desquamating and are constantly being replaced from proliferating basal cell cells. So, in normal conditions, the epidermis is in constant renewal.

On the other hand, when accidentally, the upper parts of the epidermis are damaged, for example, a slight abrasion or of a burn, the destroyed portion is regenerated (replaced) thanks to an accelerated proliferation of basal epidermal cells .

1) The process arrow A represents is photosynthesis.

2) Arrow A represents light energy transformation. Light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy in plants.

3) Photosynthesis is part of a carbon recycling process in the carbon cycle. Plants absorb light energy and convert it to chemical energy. Plants absorb carbon dioxide which is exhaled by humans and animals. Plants then produce oxygen which is absorbed by humans and animals. Animals also eat plants thus passing the carbon compounds along.

I hope this makes sense. Hope this helps! :)
