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.

Natural selection compared to evolution
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Evolution is not the same as adaptation or natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations

Evolution is a gradual change in the inherited traits of a population over many generations. Natural selection is a mechanism where the members of a population best suited to their environment have the best chance of surviving to pass on their genes.

What is semi-conservative DNA replication and how does it differ from conservative replication? Which type of DNA replication is
fredd [130]

Answer:

Semi-conservative DNA replication:

The semi-conservative model of DNA replication explains that the newly synthesized daughter DNA molecule contains one newly synthesized strand and one parental strand. This model of replication is important and explains the biological significance of replication. The DNA unwinds in this mode of replication.

Conservative model of DNA replication:

The conservative model of DNA replication explains that the newly synthesized daughter DNA molecules has the one DNA helix of parent and the other DNA helix are entirely new. This model does not has a biological significance. The DNA is not unwinds in this mode of replication.

The semi-conservative mode of DNA replication is found in the living organism.

JulsSmile [24]
Options are:
a) lymph. 
b) interstitial fluid. 
c) extracellular fluid (ECF). 
d) plasma.

All the following are correct terms for this fluid except lymph. 

The interstitial fluid surrounds the cells in the body. The other major component of the ECF is the intravascular fluid of the circulatory system called blood plasma. Whereas, Lymph is a fluid which contains infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
