Answer:

Collagen fibers

Explanation:

Cartilage is the connective tissue found in the mammalian group of animals and is composed of the collagen fibre made by the chondrocytes which occur at the scattered sites.

The fibrocartilage is one of the types of cartilage present in the intervertebral disks and helps provide the tensile strength and help absorb the shock in the spine.

The extracellular matrix of fibrocartilage is enriched with the collagen fibres which provides toughness and great tensile strength to the cartilage.

Thus, Collagen fibres are the correct answer.

Which process is responsible for the conversion of dna information into messenger rna?
Mamont248 [21]
The conversion of DNA information into the messenger RNA is transcription. In the transcription process the genetic code sequence is transcribed into the mRNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Hence the process conversion DNA sequence into mRNA is called as transcription.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.

Calculate the volume change for respiration in the dark. As you already saw from earlier questions, oxygen production is fairly
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

-1.9mL/min

Explanation:

The rate of O₂ production can be calculated by the formula

= ( Final volume - initial volume)/time(min).

From the graph provided and attached below, the rate of O₂ production or rate of photosynthesis at light intensity of 8 is about 3.75 mL/min.  

The rate of O₂ production is taken as the rate of photosynthesis. It is expected to progressively increase from light intensity 0 as light intensity increases. However, at very high light intensity, the rate slows down as water becomes limiting and the stomata closes in order to conserve water.

Question in order

Experiment 2: Respiration in the Dark

Calculate the volume change for respiration in the dark. As you already saw from earlier questions,

oxygen production is fairly constant. You will not need to calculate the individual volume changes.

Just subtract the original volume at 00:00:00 from the final reading at 00:02:00. Record your answer

for use in a later question.

<em>Note: depending on when you started the timer there is a range of possible answers. Pick the answer that is closest to this</em>

What was the volume change for respiration in the dark?

Correct answer:

-1.9 mL/min

anastassius [24]
In a supermarket it is likely that the store will be divided into many categories to ensure the customer is able to find what they are looking for promptly. for example, at Walmart, you may find a clothing section, a toy section, a produce section, toiletries section, makeup section and bakery section among many others. this style of organization allows for customers to know exactly where they must go to find what they are looking for - if they would like to purchase an apple they would go to produce etc.
