Last week’s answer
Last week’s answer was B. stratum lucidum. The stratum lucidum is an extra layer in thick skin. It is clear layer of dead skin cells in the epidermis named for its translucent appearance under a microscope. The stratum lucidum is located between the stratum granulosum and stratum corneum layers; it is composed of three to five layers of dead, flattened keratinocytes. Due to the excessive amount of friction on the palms of hands and soles of feet, they need the extra layer to help provide extra protection.
This week’s question
My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas. This is the phrase that some people were taught to remember the planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
In 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IUC), officially reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. The other eight planets still remain from the phrase. No two planets in the solar system are exactly the same. From size, atmosphere, density, appearance, and much more, the planets all vary from each other in some way or another. One difference between planets is the number of moons that they have in their orbit. While some have more than 70, others don’t have any at all. What planet has the most moons?
A. Neptune
B. Mercury
C. Saturn
D. Jupiter
E. Venus
