Answer:

B. outer

Explanation:

The epidermis is the most superficial layer of skin, situated above the dermis, which acts as a protective barrier for the body. The word epidermis originates from the Greek terms Epi = over, outer, over, and Derma = leather, skin.

Waterproof, the epidermis makes it difficult for the body to get out of water and protects the body from external damage and the entry of substances and microbes into the body.

It is in the epidermis that are the melanocytes, the cells responsible for the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin. Skin attachments such as nails, hair, and sweat and sebaceous glands also originate from the epidermis.

Answer:

The activation-synthesis theory is a neurobiological explanation of why we dream. The question of why people dream has perplexed philosophers and scientists for thousands of years, but it is only fairly recently in history that researchers have been able to take a closer look at exactly what happens in the body and brain during dreaming.

A bar serves Jello shots each containing 1 1/2 ounces of 80-proof vodka. How many alcohol servings are in 4 Jell-O shots
ale4655 [162]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is 1,6 alcohol servings.

<h2>Why?</h2>

First, we need to know that  80-proof vodka contains 40% of alcohol, and a standard serving (at least in the U.S) is 1.5 oz (ounces).

<h2>Calculations</h2>

First, we need to know how many ounces we have in 4 Jell-O shots.

1.5 oz * 4 = 6 oz

So we have, 6 oz in 4 Jell-O shots

We know that no matter how many ounces of 80-proof vodka we have, there is always a 40% of alcohol. Knowing that we can calculate how much alcohol is in 4 Jell-O shots or 6 oz

6 oz * 0,4 = 2,4 oz

There are 2,4 oz of alcohol in 4 Jell-O shots  (6 oz)

To know how many alcohol servings are in 4 Jell-O servings (6 oz), we need to divide 2,4 oz by 1,5 oz (remember that a standard serving is 1,5 oz)

So

\frac{2,4 oz}{1,5 oz} = 1,6 servings

Finally, calculating, we know that we have 1,6 servings of alcohol in 4 Jell-O shots.

Have a nice day!
