Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carotene is a yellow-orange pigment found in plants and can be responsible for imparting a yellowish hue to the skin. It is particularly noticeable in areas where the skin is thinner, such as the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Melanosomes are pigment-containing organelles in skin cells that produce melanin, which is responsible for skin color. Albinism is a genetic condition characterized by a lack of melanin production. Dermatitis is a skin condition characterized by inflammation of the skin. Cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin caused by inadequate oxygenation of the blood. None of these choices are related to a yellow pigment derived from plants.
