Question

Name the protein which fills the cells of the stratum corneum and gives the skin its strength.

Answer 1

Keratin is an intracellular fibrous protein that gives hair, nails, and skin their hardness, strength, and water-resistant properties. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from the deeper layers

Hope this helped!

Good luck :p
