Thanks for checking my answers :)
No, the accurate way to describe a healthy person's epidermis would be:
c. waterproof
The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and acts as a protective barrier against water loss, infections, and harmful substances.
For the malady that might result from too much exercise, the correct answer is:
b. sore muscles
When you engage in strenuous or unfamiliar physical activities, it can lead to muscle soreness or discomfort due to microscopic damage to muscle fibers.
And for the disease caused by a virulent germ, the correct answer is:
b. smallpox
Smallpox is a highly contagious and serious viral disease caused by the variola virus. It is characterized by fever, rash, and fluid-filled blisters on the skin, and it has been eradicated through widespread vaccination efforts.
