The Reflective Properties of Surface Tissue May Form

Question

The reflective properties of surface tissue may form
A)organic pigments.
B)structural colors such as iridescence.
C)chromatophores.
D)the melanin effect.
E)None of the choices is correct.

Accepted Answer

Structural colors such as iridescence are created by the reflection and refraction of light on the surface tissue, which can give a range of colors depending on the angle of incidence and observation. Organic pigments, chromatophores, and the melanin effect are all related to the production and distribution of pigment in the body, which is separate from the reflective properties of surface tissue.
