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 is the sign used to compare quantities and measurements?
that would be the division symbol
Is silver fulminate dangerous in large quantities?
It is used in "ground snappers" those little fireworks you would always throw on the ground as a kid and they would make a little pop. I would imagine in large quantities that it would be dangerous, because it is catagorized as "highly explosive. "
What cloud produces the most amount of precipitation?
that would be cumulonimbus
What does it mean to have green eyes?
The amount of melanin in the eye determines the eyes color.

How can you prevent melanin?
Melanin is a normal part of the skin. It's not something you can or would want to prevent.
What is melanoma used for exactly?
Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor. It produces melanin, a dark pigment, which colours the skin dark. Melanoma is not really used for anything, as it would be considered dangerous and unhealthy.
What type of skin would a person have with very few melanocytes?
They would have very, very light skin. Melanocytes are cells in your body that produce melanin, or pigment. Without melanocytes, there is no melanin. Without melanin, they would have very very light skin.
What layer of the skin contains melanin?
what layer of the epidermis contains skin color
What does it mean if your body does not produce the pigment melanin?
First of all, pigment melanin is the thing that determines our skin colour (the less pigment melanin, the lighter the skin). So if a body stops making pigment melanin it would mean that your skin cannot get any darker.
Why would redheads be more likely to be harmed by the rays of the sun?
Most redheaded people less melanin in their skin tissue. Melanin is what gives your skin pigment. The less melanin you have the more sensitive your skin will be in sunlight.
Would people with lighter colored hair have melanin in the cuticle and cortex?
cortex
Is sheep recyclable?
Yes and no -a sheep produces many products for humans - meat and wool - the meat would not be recyclable as once eaten it is no more but the wool if it is made into yarn could be used numerous times and ion numerous garments so then its wool is recyclable.
Would having less melinin be considered a genetic defect?
It depends on the context. If melanin was essential to good health, and a lack of it produces serious health problems then it could be considered a defect (assuming the lack of melanin was due to genetics). Having a total lack of it when the vast majority of creatures have it would certainly qualify as an unusual condition but just having less of it than others is a little too vague to be considered a defect without understanding the context. Like any 'trait' less of something may be beneficial in some environments but more of it may be beneficial in others. ----------------------------------- Albinism (complete or partial loss of melanin) is genetic.
How can you reduce excess melanin?
Melanin is depleted over the years by the decrease in vitamins, mainly vitamin b, or malnourishment. If you eat a healthy diet with lots of vitamins that are vital to the body, and the producing of Melanin, you won't have to worry about your hair turning white or grey with age because of the lack of Melanin that usually colors you hair. (Melanin is the pigmented substance that colors your skin and hair.)
What determines the color of your skin and what factors can affect this?
the differences in skin color result from differences in the amount of melanin that melanocytes produce and in the size of the pigment granules. The three pigments that affect skin color are: 1. Melanin 2. Hemoglobin 3. Carotene Different skin colour is simply the result of different amounts of melanin - skin pigmentation - in the skin. For example, the absence or lack of melanin in the skin results in a person being classed as an albino. Pigments in the skin Skin tone in people is determined by the amount & type of melanin pigment in the skin. People with ancestors froom sunny areas have darker skin tones than those with ancestors from areas with less sunlight. Skin color is largely regulated by the amount of melanin present in the dermis. This is determined primarily by th genotype of the organism. Skin color is caused by the amount of melanin, or pigment, in a persons skin. This is essentially genetically decided, but some things, like sunlight, stimulate the production of melanin. Presence of melanin pigment Melanin is what determines your skin and hair color. The more melanin you have the darker your skin/hair will be. The less melanin you have the lighter your skin/hair will be. Melanin is passed down in your genes. by a thing called melanin you get more melanin from the sun and less without it melanin comes from rays in the sun enhancing your pigment The epidermis, which is the top layer of skin, has special cells called melanocytes, some 60,000 in every square inch of skin. Melanocytes produce a dark pigment called melanin. Melanin gives skin its color. Black people do not have more melanin in their system. Everyone has the same amount of melanin in them. Melanin protects the body from the damaging effects caused by the sun. When the skin is exposed to sunlight, the melanocytes produce additional melanin. This is what creates the suntan. Some of the substances that give the skin color are melanin, blood, lipofuscin and beta carotene. White people are not "White". Their skin is pink (which is a shade of the color Red). Their origin is in Genesis 25:25 in the Bible. Go to IsraelUnite.org to learn more about the origins of "Blacks" and "Whites". Melanin, keratin, and hemoglobin. polygenic traits The melanin in their skin is produced in different amounts based on adaptation from where their ancestor's liv (e.g. if your ancestors lived in a hot, sunny place your body would make more melanin so you wouldn't get sunburned as easily) Your skin color really depends on where your ancestors came from. Because, if you are on the darker side, that means that your ancestors probably came from a hot place like Africa or Mexico or the Middle east, but if you have white skin, your ancestors probably came from Norway, Germany, Russia, or any place that's in the north. This all comes down to adapting to your environment.
