Question

multiple choice question
the skin is best described as
o impervious to water
o soluble in water
o a sponge
o waterproof
o water resistant

Explanation:

The skin is not completely impervious to water as some water - vapor can pass through (transepidermal water loss), it is not soluble in water, and it is not like a sponge in the sense of soaking up water like a typical sponge. It is not fully waterproof as water can still have some effects on it over time. However, it is water - resistant, meaning it can resist the penetration of water to a significant extent.

Answer:

O water resistant
