Mainly Osteoarthritis (OA) happens when the joint-associated problems that can occur as normal changes to the articular cartilage as an individual ages.

It is a classic age-related disorder. It is often described as a chronic degenerative disease and thought by many to be an inevitable consequence of growing old. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion. Eventually, if the cartilage wears down completely, bone will rub on bone. In OA, degradation and loss of the articular cartilage is a central feature that is sometimes attributed to "wear and tear".

Beside Osteoarthritis, fibrillation of the articular surface, decrease in the size and aggregation of proteoglycan aggrecans, increased collagen cross-linking and loss of tensile strength and stiffness happens.

You've been growing numerous plants in a greenhouse in dishes called flats. Different flats have different number of plant speci
KATRIN_1 [288]
I think the correct answer would be C. It would be restricting water and/or nutrients, instead of supplying ample quantities of both that would not change the results of the experiment. This is because you are still supplying the same amount of nutrients and other things needed by the plant so the ratio of the growth of the plants will still be the same.
