Answer:

Inorganic portion of matrix:

The inorganic component of extracellular matrix consists of inorganic salts namely calcium and potassium. This salts are present in the crystal of hydroxyapatite. This component provide rigidity and makes the bone as the strongest component of the body.

Organic portion of matrix:

The organic portion of the bone is known as osteoids. They consists of glycosaminolycans, glycoproteins and proteoglycans. The collagen fibers of bones resist torsion of the bones.

The cellular mechanism of the breakdown of the matrix is known as osteoregenreation. The bone cell involved in this process is known as osteoclast that are involved in the process of bone resorption. The bone organic and inorganic component are broken down and reconstruct the extracellular bone matrix.

Because digital signals do not depend on amplitude or frequency differences to communicate information, they are more vulnerable
Kazeer [188]

False

Electromagnetic interference happens less commonly with digital signals because they do not rely on subtle amplitude (signal strength) or frequency differences(cycles in a certain time) to communicate information. Digital signals are readable even with distortion generated from electromagnetic interference noise

How is matter conserved in the water cycle
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Matter is conserved because atoms are conserved in physical and chemical processes. As complex as the water cycle is, water molecules are conserved and endlessly recycled in nature. Conservation of mass is a physical law that s never broken.This cycle continues with no loss of water.
