The two main components of the extracellular matrix are Elastin and Collagen.
The extracellular matrix is an intricate macromolecular network that is found in the extracellular space. The matrix is composed of polysaccharides and very diverse proteins, locally secreted and assembled forming a complex network that surrounds the cells. The matrix is highly developed in connective tissue and its derivatives. The extracellular matrix is formed mainly by proteins, glycosaminoglycans,proteoglycans and glycoproteins, organized in diverse networks that constitute the different tissues. <em>The most abundant proteins are collagen and elastin.</em>
Collagen is a family of very abundant proteins in the body of animals. Collagen molecules can represent 25 to 30 % of all body proteins. Its main mission in the tissues is to form a framework that supports the tissues and that resists the forces of mechanical tension.
The elastin molecules are very close to each other through links between the regions rich in the amino acid lysine. It is an abundant protein in may extracellular matrices and appears as a component of the so called elastic fibers, which are onsoluble aggregates of proteins.
Answer:
The options are
a.cooling of the power plant
b.mining of uranium
c.storage of radioactive waste
d.monitoring the reactor
The answer is b.mining of uranium
Explanation:
Uranium is known as a radioactive element which is used as a fuel to power a nuclear energy plant. Mining of uranium could cause it to mix with air and water which results in contamination.
When contamination occurs and it gets into the body of humans or animals by inhalation or ingestion it poses a high risk of cancer and kidney damage.
Answer:
2 ATP are created in Kreb cycle
It is the coracoclavicular ligament. As the name indicates it connects the coracoid process to the clavicle (collarbone). This ligament is made of two parts, the trapezoid ligament<span> and the </span><span>conoid ligament. These ligaments impede opposite movements of the scapula in relation to the clavicle.</span>
