A premature infant typically lacks subcutaneous adipose tissue, and an infant’s body has a relatively large surface area compared to its volume. How do these factors affect the ability of a premature infant to regulate body temperature?
They increase heat loss and impair thermoregulation, making hypothermia more likely
They decrease heat loss and improve thermoregulation, preventing hypothermia
They mainly increase heat production, helping the infant maintain temperature
They have little effect on heat balance because adipose tissue is not involved

How is skin peeling after a severe sunburn a protective measure?
It removes UV‑damaged keratinocytes, shedding cells with potential DNA mutations
It increases melanin synthesis immediately, darkening the skin
It traps heat within the epidermis to speed healing
It stimulates sweat glands to cool the skin

Everyone’s skin contains about the same number of melanocytes, even though people are many different colors. How is this possible, and why does this occur?
Differences in skin color reflect variation in melanin production, type, and distribution, not melanocyte number
People of different colors have more or fewer melanocytes depending on genetics
Skin color differences are caused only by blood flow and have no relation to melanin
Skin color differences are determined solely by thickness of the stratum corneum
