A.
All cells in the human body produce the same types of hormones.
B.
Specialized cells allow for different organs to work together to perform a function.
C.
Cells can work together only if they’re located in the same area of the body.
D.
All cells in the human body have the same structure and function.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The statement that is true is B. Specialized cells allow for different organs to work together to perform a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon of cell differentiation allows different cells to have contrasting structures and functions. Each cell can be shaped according to its function based on this phenomenon. For example the erythrocytes have a hollow structure which allows it to carry oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body.

Specialized cells that work together form tissues. For eg, the epithelial cells from the skin and small intestine form the epithelial tissue which functions to protect the body surfaces. And tissues work together to form organs, and different organs work together due to the functioning of specialized cells.
