### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Totipotent Cells**: - Totipotent cells are the most versatile type of stem cells. They have the potential to differentiate into any cell type in the body, including both the embryonic tissues and the extra-embryonic tissues, such as the placenta. This means they can form a complete organism. 2. **Definition of Pluripotent Cells**: - Pluripotent cells are also stem cells but are slightly less versatile than totipotent cells. They can differentiate into almost any cell type in the body (all three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) but cannot form extra-embryonic tissues like the placenta. Thus, they can develop into any cell type but not a complete organism. ...
