Melanin is the pigment found primarily in skin, giving it a brown colour whilst absorbing UV radiation and transforming it into harmless heat energy. It is also found in the hair, the tissue underlying the iris, and in some parts of the brain.

What produces a thick oily substance of melanin?
Melanin
What produces protein in all cells?
Nucleolus and Ribosomes
Would be numerous in a cell that produces large quantities of melanin?
The chloroplast because it gives a green pigment to plant cells. Hope this helps.:)
What produces protein for Cells?
In cells, protein is produced in the ribosomes. The instructions for protein synthesis are found in the DNA, which is copied onto mRNA. This mRNA then carries these instructions to the ribosomes where protein synthesis occurs.
Is melanin a protein?
I screwed up-- the first person had it right. Here's their answer: "A protein is composed of several amino acids chained together - so no melanin is not a protein. Melanin is formed from the amino acid Tyrosine and is NOT a chain of amino acids thus it is not a protein nor is it a amino acid."
What protein is responsible for hair?
The protein responsible for hair color is melanin. There are two types of melanin: pheomelanin and eumelanin. Pheomelanin produces yellow and red color. Eumelanin produces browns.

When exposed to ultraviolet light skin cells produces that?
Skin cells do not produce a hat - no matter what kind of radiation falls on them.
What are melanoblasts?
Melonoblasts are cells that give rise to either a melanocyte or a melanophore, which produces the black or dark brown pegment, melanin.
How do melanocytes protect skin cells from UV damage?
Melanocytes produces melanin, the skin pigment that absorbs UV light from the sun and prevents it from damaging DNA in the cells.
