Carotene is an orange or red plant pigment found in carrots and many other plant structures. It is a terpenoid hydrocarbon. You are thinking of melanin which reacts with sun to darken our skin, not carotene.

Yes that is true.It is the primary pigment
Is Melanin produced in the cuticle of the hair True Or False
all of the following are true except ________.
are you talking about Chromatophores? pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells found in amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Colours can be from true pigments, such as carotenoids and pteridines or melanin, that appears black or dark brown.
No. There is no purple hair because hair and skin color is made from a pigment substance known as melanin. There are basically only two types of melanin: black which is known as eumelanin and orange/red known as pheomelanin. The third type is what most of humanity is and that is a combination of the two: pheomelanin and eumelanin. Natural color of hair is sort of straw like yellow. There is no natural occuring purple, or true red in hair. You would need a true red and blue to make the purple, neither of which occurs in humans

true
Pink was invented as a result of blending a white pigment with a red pigment. No one knows the true originator of pink.
Answer 1: If you get a tan, it is possible. Answer 2: Not really; it's in your genes, and you cannot change your DNA. But although getting tans is very dangerous for Caucasians especially as they are at higher risk for skin cancer (although all groups can get it), it is true that tanning brings out more Melanin in the skin as a defense against the sun. But you cannot ever produce the amount of Melanin (skin pigment) that persons of African ethnicity do. Use sunscreen instead! Stay healthy. Your color is what it is.
True black absorbs all colors.
