The reason that the nail bed appears pink is the presence of a large number of melanocytes in the underlying dermis.

Answer:

The answer is FALSE.

Explanation:

The pink color that the nail bed presents is due to the significant number of blood vessels, specifically capillaries, coursing under the skin. This usually indicates a healthy nail bed. Any discoloration away from the pink color would usually indicate an underlying disease.

For example, if it turns <u>yellowish</u>, it may be an indication of <em>jaundice</em> or <em>liver disease</em>. If it's <u>bluish to whitish</u> in color, <em>hypothermia or anoxia</em> may be present. A distinct condition called <u>Onychomycosis</u>, a <em>fungal infection</em> of the nail, may produce whitish to yellowish discoloration with accompanying thickening of the nail bed.

This movement occurs until the concentration on both sides is on equilibrium.

Semi permeable membrane allows the movement of water only but not the solute.

In this case,water moves from region A to region B.

How does the position of Earth and its orbit affect climate change?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, but it does change shape. ... At other times, the ellipse is more pronounced so that the Earth moves closer and further away from the Sun as it orbits. When the Earth is closer to the Sun our climate is warmer and this cycle also affects the length of the seasons.
