Question

multiple-choice question how are nutrients transported among the cells of the epidermis? osmosis telepathically diffusion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The epidermis lacks blood vessels. Nutrients from the underlying dermal blood vessels (like those in the dermal papilla) move to epidermal cells via diffusion, the passive movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. Osmosis only refers to the movement of water, and "telepathically" is not a biological transport mechanism.

Answer:

diffusion
