Not sure about the last one!
 
Question 12 should be epidermis. Bad question as waterproofing is contributed to by secretion of sebum ( grease) and presence of hair.
 
Eh? SO you've put a whole quiz on here to beg answers that you're then going to send off as your own work? Blimey, in my day that would have counted as cheating.
 
Ah, just questions 1 to 12 then. And no I don't understand, the idea is to do the research and find out the answers by learning, not to get other people to answer for you! Presumably you won't ask someone else to do your driving theory test for you!

No dear, I'm just a sour old woman, hadn't you twigged :D

I also have strong views on people passing off others' work as their own.

I am probably older than you are but thankfully not sour. Nobody knows what the quiz was for, it could well have been a competition. I thought it was quite enterprising to ask on here.
 
Joke dear, joke. :)

Yes, enterprising to ask for clarification on a question or two - but the whole lot? And for two different quizzes?

The dermis contains the glands that produce the sebum, it is the second layer
