Question

Which statement is NOT true of the skin?
A)Collagen provides strength to the epidermis.
B)The epidermis is the outer layer.

Collagen actually provides strength to the dermis, not the epidermis. The epidermis is primarily composed of keratinocytes and does not rely on collagen for its strength.
