skin
Biology

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

Collagen is produced in the human body until natural aging occurs, whereas elastin is mainly produced during the fetal period. Collagen has the main property of providing structures with strength, whereas elastin will allow the structures which contain it to stretch and return to their initial form without damage

From what I know,  collagen/elastin ratio as well as the collagen and elastin structures change with age [3,4,5,6]. The elasticity of the skin increases with atrophy of the collagen fiber bundles, the related flattening of the rete ridges, and the thickening of the dermal elastic fiber.

Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. People are exposed to Radon gas via the inhalation and ingestion of the gas. Because it is found in the ground, water or building materials, Radon gas can enter work buildings as well as private dwellings.

olasank [31]

Answer:

it breaks glycogen into glucose

Explanation:

Lysosome is an organelle in the cells that is responsible for the production of digestive enzymes and thereby breaks down glycogen to glucose.

  • Lysosome is membrane bound organelle.
  • It is responsible for the secretion of digestive enzymes and breaking down of dead cells.

The nucleus is the control center of the cell and it contains the DNA.

Proteins are not created in the lysosome and they are not responsible for the movement of the cell mass.
