Answer:

D) elastic cartilage

Explanation:

Cartilage is a connective tissue which is fibrous in composition which provides its physical properties like the softness, elasticity and strength.

There are three types of cartilages- the elastic, hyaline and the fibrocartilage. Among these three the cartilage which forms the external ear is the elastic cartilage. The elastic cartilage is composed of the elastin protein, type II collagen and the elastic fibres. The presence of the elastin proteins and fibres allows the ear to be an elastic organ.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Answer:

Plato Answer

Explanation:

Embryonic stem cells are plentiful, and they can create every cell in the human body. Researchers can use these cells to create tissues. They can possibly grow new organs in a lab to treat diseased organs. Adult stem cells are rarer in the human body, and they’re limited in the types of cells they can make.

An embryo can’t grow without its stem cells, so people have ethical concerns about their use. Adults can provide consent to donate their stem cells, so there are fewer ethical issues regarding the use of adult stem cells.

creativ13 [48]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a cell's energy currency. All of the following statements about ATP are true, except ATP is used to lower activation energy in enzymatic reactions.

  • A) ATP is used to lower the activation energy in enzymatic reactions.

<h3>How does ATP affect enzyme activity?</h3>

Enzymes allow chemical reactions to proceed with activation energy provided by the catabolism of ATP. When cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, they use 2 molecules of ATP as activation energy and gain 36 to 38 molecules of ATP in return. Without enzymes, this would not be possible.
