2. Three cells with distinct volumes and surface arcas are listed in the following table:Based on data from the table above, which of the following statements "best" explains which cell will 10.2um3 Cell 3 27.3 um2 eliminate wastes most inefficiently? (A) Cell 1 because it has the lowest ratio of surface area to volume, which will enable it to eliminate its wastes most inefficiently. (B) Cell 2 because it has the highest ratio of surface area to volume, which will enable it to climinate its wastes most inefficiently. (C) Cell 3 because it has the smallest volume, which will cnable it to eliminate its wastes most inefficiently. (D) Cell 3 because it has the smallest surface area, which will enable it to eliminate its wastes most inefficiently.

(A) Pancreas cells express an activator protein that binds the insulin enhancer. (B) Pancreas cells have more enhancers in the insulin gene. (C) The insulin genes in pancreatic cells and skin cells have different promoters and, therefore, they respond to different regulatory proteins. (D) Skin cells lack an enhancer in the insulin gene. (E) Skin cells lack the insulin gene.
