After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.

The skin is the body's largest organ. It's made up of many different types of cells. Oils, produced by the sebaceous glands, prevent the skin from drying and splitting. The pigment melanin, produced by melanocytes in the epidermis, protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Sweat, released through ducts to the skin surface, helps to cool the body. The types of cells that produce these compounds have different numbers of specific organelles, depending on their function.


The oil from the sebaceous glands is produced by which of the following cell organelles?
◦ the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
◦ the cell membrane
