What does keratinizing do to an epidermal cell?
1. Keratinocytes synthesize and accumulate the protein keratin, which disrupts the Internal organization of the cell, and the cells die. These dry, scale like keratinized cells on the surface of the epidermis are resistant to the dehydration and friction
On which layer of epidermis are guard cells found?
epidermis.
How many Epidermis cells do you lose every day?
I think none, because Epidermis cells are on leaves.
What part of the skin is made up mostly of dead cells filled with a protein called keratin to keep the skin tough?
the top layer; the epidermis
The tough water-repellent protein found in the epidermal cells is called?
It is called Keratinocyte, which is in the outermost layer of the epidermis.
What kind of cells is the epidermis made of?
The epidermis consists of stratified squamous epithelium cells. These cells in the epidermis are dead cells surrounded by the protein keratin.
What protein are most cells in the epidermis made of?
Keratin

A tough waterproofing protein is?
Keratin is a tough, waterproofing protein. Keratin is secreted by the cells of the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin).
The epidermis is filled with?
Mainly dead epithelial cells consisting almost entirely of the protein Keratin.
What is the protein that makes up the epidermis?
Epidermis lining the mammalian skin contains protein keratin.
What are most cells of the epidermis?
The most abundant cells in the epidermis are keratinocytes.
Where does the epidermis grow from?
The epidermis forms from key specialised stem cells found deeper under the outer layer. These stem cells are found in or on top of the dermis and grow into the epidermis. These cells in grow in layers and as the layers age, the cells undergo a process called 'keratinisation' almost completely changing into the protein keratin. The last part of the cell that is converted is the nucleus.
What makes your skin tough?
The epidermis is tough because it is a dense layer of skin cells held together by keratin, which is a hard protein. The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin.
What layer of the epidermis contains protein fibres?
No, there is not dense connective tissue in the epidermis. There is loose connective tissue right below the epidermis (areolar connective tissue).
The epidermis contains what?
The epidermis contains skin cells.
On which layer of epidermis are guard cells found?
epidermis.
