    What is the capital of Egypt? ( Cairo )

    1 Answer

    1. Quizzma Team

      The correct answer is A. Produces melanin.

      ### Explanation:

      Subcutaneous tissue, also known as hypodermis, primarily functions to provide cushioning, maintain body contour, and store energy in the form of fat. However, it does not produce melanin; melanin is produced by melanocytes, which are found in the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin). Therefore, option A is correct in stating what subcutaneous tissue does not do.
