Answer:

It has four layers and attach with each other with desmosome.

Explanation:

The keratinocytes are arranged in four different layers which are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, and stratum corneum. These cells are attached with desmosome which is a membrane protein. The presence of these four layers made a barrier against damage done by heat, UV radiation, water loss, pathogens etc. There are fewer cells at the end of the time as compared to the start because may be of the water pressure on the membrane or these cells for a long time.

How can a small change to the temperature of ocean water have a big effect on a tropical depression?
makkiz [27]
Heat waves can be dangerous, causing illnesses such as heat cramps and heat stroke, or even death. Warmer temperatures can also lead to a chain reaction of other changes around the world. That's because increasing air temperature also affects the oceans, weather patterns, snow and ice, and plants and animals.
