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.

Answer:

1. animal kingdom: a basic group of natural objects that includes all living and extinct animals compare mineral kingdom, plant kingdom. 2.plant kingdom: Mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants are all members of the plant kingdom. The plant kingdom contains mostly photosynthetic organisms; a few parasitic forms have lost the ability to photosynthesize. The process of photosynthesis uses chlorophyll, which is located in organelles called chloroplasts. 3. Fungi kingdom: Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that include microorganisms such as yeasts, moulds and mushrooms. These organisms are classified under kingdom fungi. The organisms found in Kingdom fungi contain a cell wall and are omnipresent. They are classified as heterotrophs among the living organisms. 4. protist kingdom: The protist kingdom is a classification that includes a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms. Typically, protists reproduce asexually via mitosis and range from unicellular to multicellular organisms. 5. monera kingdom:

Explanation:

2.Carl Linnaeus Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) laid the foundations for modern biological nomenclature, now regulated by the Nomenclature Codes, in 1735. He distinguished two kingdoms of living things: Regnum Animale ('animal kingdom') and Regnum Vegetabile ('vegetable kingdom', for plants).

3. The largest category in this system is called kingdom, and has five subdivisions: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Monera and Protista. All known organisms fall into one of these large categories.

4. The living organisms are divided into five different kingdoms – Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, and Monera on the basis of their characteristics such as cell structure, mode of nutrition, mode of reproduction and body organization.
