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.

Hypotheses and theories are proven to be true.
No, it is not true that melanin is the most abundant protein in dead epidermal structures like hair and nails. The primary protein present in these structures is keratin, which provides strength and resilience. Melanin, on the other hand, is a pigment responsible for color and is found in the living cells of the skin, hair, and eyes, but not in significant amounts in the dead structures themselves.
Yes that is true.It is the primary pigment
Is Melanin produced in the cuticle of the hair True Or False
Yes, eye color is primarily determined by the level of melanin (brown pigment) in the iris. The more melanin present, the darker the eye color will be. Other factors like genetics and lighting conditions can also influence how eye color appears.
No, melanocytes are specialized cells found in the epidermis, specifically in the basal layer. These cells produce the pigment melanin, which gives skin its color.
There is a dye molecule (melanin) which is added to the hair as it is grown. The concentration of that substance gives hair its color - when the body stops adding melanin the hair goes gray and then white (the true color of hair).
all of the following are true except ________.
Many people would argue that a true albino cannot have freckles because a freckle is defined as a clump of dark pigment in the skin. Albinism is defined as a living being having no pigment or capability of producing pigment, thus; albinos dont have freckles. But some albinos HAVE gotten freckles from sun exposure so I guess it is possible. Sorry for making the explanantion so long(:
They were paid equal wages compared to their male counterparts.
