Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Skin has three layers:

  • The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. 
  • The second layer of skin is the dermis, located under the epidermis. It contains connective tissue, nerve endings, and hair follicles.
  •  Subcutaneous tissue is the third layer of the skin. Located beneath the dermis and epidermis, it is mostly fat. Hence, Hair roots are located in Dermis.
So, the correct answer is 'Dermis'.

  2. Elastin

  3. Dextrin

  4. Collagen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Keratin is a family of fibrous structural proteins. It is the protein that protects epithelial cells from damage or stress that has potential to kill the cell.

Elastin is a highly elastic protein in connective tissue and allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting.
Dextrins are a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch or glycogen. 
Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in animals.
As Dextrin is a carbohydrate, whereas rest others are proteins, hence it is unrelated. Hence, option C is correct.

Exfoliation is a process in ___________.

  1. chemical weathering

  2. biological weathering

  3. mechanical weathering

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The repeated heating and cooling exerts stress on the outer layers of rocks, which can cause their outer layers to peel off in thin sheets. The process of peeling off is also called exfoliation and it is a mechanical process. Over time, sheets of rock break away from the exposed rocks along the fractures, a process known as exfoliation. Exfoliation due to pressure release is also known as "sheeting". Retreat of an overlying glacier can also lead to exfoliation due to pressure release.

  3. Both heredity and environment

  4. Food
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
