The answer is the third one: synthesis of vitamin E.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Temperature regulation: The skin plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature through mechanisms such as sweating and vasodilation or vasoconstriction of blood vessels.
  2. Protection against microbes: The skin acts as a physical barrier to prevent the entry of pathogens and has immune cells that help in defending against infections.
  3. Synthesis of vitamin E: The skin does not synthesize vitamin E. Vitamin E is obtained through the diet and is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
  4. Protective barrier against water loss: The skin prevents excessive water loss through its outermost layer, the stratum corneum, which is rich in lipids.
  5. Sensory input: The skin contains various receptors that detect touch, pressure, pain, and temperature, providing sensory input to the nervous system.

Summary: The function that is NOT associated with the skin is the synthesis of vitamin E.

Infinity stones release energy in forms of heat, radiation, and blast work. Assume that an immortal being has collected 2 infinity stones, each capable of producing 5000 tera-Joules (TJ) of energy. If both stones are used simultaneously, how much heat, in SI units of TJ, is supplied from the stones if 30% of the energy produced by the stones is in the form of heat? On Canvas, submit only the magnitude value associated with the proper units; do not include units in your answer online. For instance, for an answer of 10.5 lbf, enter 10.5 into the answer position in Canvas. Do not use scientific notation.
