Options are not provded in the question. The complete question is:

All of the following substances are derived from petroleum EXCEPT

A) asphalt

B) DDT

C) cellulose

D) polystyrene

E) nylon

Answer: C) cellulose

Explanation:

Cellulose is defined as an organic compound made up of many hundred to several thousands of β linked D-glucose units arranged in a  linear chain. Cellulose is a significant structural part of green plant's primary cell wall, many types of oomycetes and algae.

Human beings can not digest cellulose but as a source of fibre, it is essential in the diet. Cellulose is used for storing clothes and paper.

Hence, cellulose is not a derivative of petroleum.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

basale - spinosum - granulosum - lucidum - corneum.  

Explanation:

The order of strata in the epidermis:

  • Basale: it is the deepest stratum. It has one layer of cells called keratinocytes, which are stem cells for the epidermis.
  • Spinosum: The keratinocytes in this layer have spiny shapes. They synthesize cytokeratin and lipids. In this layer, we can also find macrophages.
  • Granulosum: The keratinocytes of the previous layer ascend and synthesize keratohyalin, which is in granules. The keratohyalin helps to join keratin filaments. Also, the cells release the lipids synthesized in the previous layer, and they form a barrier that stops dehydration.
  • Lucidum: it is only on thick skin, like the one in the sole of the feet. The keratinocytes in this layer have expelled the nucleus and now are dead cells. The keratinocytes have a flat shape and form a thin layer.
  • Corneum: it is the most superficial layer. It is made of dead keratinocytes filled with keratin in their cytoplasm. It is a thick layer that suffers desquamation when new dead cells filled with keratin ascend from the previous layer.
