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.

Viruses and bacteria can both be pathogens,
ad-work [718]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Bacteria generate toxins which can be classified as either exotoxins or endotoxins. Exotoxins are generated and actively secreted; endotoxins remain part of the bacteria. Usually, an endotoxin is part of the bacterial outer membrane, and it is not released until the bacterium is killed by the immune system.Most viral infections eventually result in the death of the host cell. The causes of death include cell lysis, alterations to the cell's surface membrane and various modes of programmed cell death. Some viruses cause no apparent changes to the infected cell.
