What is the difference between blood and connective tissue?

Biology
1 answer:
Naily [24]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Blood is also a type of connective tissue but unlike other connective tissues, it does not have fibers and has a fluid matrix.

Connective tissues consist of extracellular matrix with scattered cells. These tissues connect different body systems.

Blood is different from normal connective tissues in the sense that it has matrix that is in fluid form. This fluid form matrix is called Plasma.

The blood plasma has the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets floating in the extracellular matrix.

Also, blood connects different body systems and transports oxygen and nutrients to different body parts.

Hence, in more ways than one, blood can be called a connective tissue with the exception of the fluid matrix

How does the basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates?
oksian1 [2.3K]
The basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates by having a four ring structure whereas a carbohydrate do not have. A steroid is a group of organic substances which has four rings that are arranged in a certain configuration. Examples are testosterone, estradiol and lipid cholesterol. It will always have seventeen carbon atoms in its structure. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are a group of organic substances that consist carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms typically in a 2:1 ratio of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. So, it would have an empirical formula of Cx(H2O)y.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

By the separation of the East African Rift, there were a difference among them.

Explanation:

Both Monkeys and Apes, have a common ancestor, in the late Oligocene, around 25 million years ago. But later, there were a branch in the East African Rift. This was a product of the crash of the Asian and Indian Continental plates, pushing the Tibetan Plateau. In an area that some day were flat, now some mountains, deep lakes and valleys appear. The new mountains, were a natural barrier for the sea wind, causing a dry weather and the lost of forest in this are. Since this is a topographical limits for some species, then the differentiation starts to Apes and Monkeys. One of the evidences is that the first hominids could develop the brain capacity, also the brain size.

Hope this info is useful.
