A)adipocytes.
B)keratinocytes.
C)fibroblasts.
D)melanocytes.
E)dendritic cells.

Accepted Answer

The most common type of cells that make up the strata of the epidermis are keratinocytes. These cells produce keratin, a tough protein that helps to protect the skin from damage and water loss. While the other cell types listed (adipocytes, fibroblasts, melanocytes, and dendritic cells) are all present in the skin, they are not the primary cell type found in the epidermis.
