Answer:

D) integrins

Explanation:

The extracellular matrix is an intricate network of carbohydrates and proteins in the cells extracellular space. <em>Collagen proteins </em>undergo modification with carbohydrates within the cell to form collagen fibers; they are interwoven with proteoglycan complexes is made up of carbohydrates proteins and polysaccharides. The resulting mesh is capable of providing structural integrity, mechanical strength and support to tissue.

In the ECM, the fibers are joined to integrins by fibrobronectin bridges. Integrin proteins form crucial connections between surrounding cells, are embedded within the cells' plasma membranes and anchors them in the ECM. Also, they facilitate cell communication in the environment- <u>they are capable of detecting mechanical and chemical signals</u> from the ECM and respond by stimulating signal pathways inside the cell.

How many sugar molecules are in DNA and the nucleotide?
Savatey [412]
DNA is made up of six smaller molecules -- a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule and four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine).

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids; they are composed of three subunit molecules: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group.

The medial and lateral condyles of the tibia articulate with the
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

patella bone

Explanation:

Although, the condyles articulate with the tibia to form the knee joint. But, Anteriorly, the smooth surfaces of the medial and lateral condyles join together to form a wide groove called the patellar surface, which provides for articulation with the patella bone.  The epicondyles(a protuberance above or on the condyle) provide attachment for muscles and supporting ligaments of the knee.

Posteriorly, the medial and lateral condyles are separated by a deep depression called the intercondylar fossa.  The combination of the medial and lateral condyles with the patellar surface gives rise to  the distal end of the femur a horseshoe (U) shape.
