The given statement is true.

Fibrocartilage comprises an amalgamation of cartilaginous tissue and white fibrous tissue in various extents. It exhibits toughness and flexibility due to the presence of the former constituent, and the property of elasticity due to the latter. It is only cartilage, which comprises both the type I and II collagen.  

Fibrocartilage is found on the pubic symphysis, and on the soft tissue to bone attachments. Fibrocartilage is a dense, tough, and fibrous component, which assists in filling the torn part of the cartilage.

How are cancer cells able to get nutrients away from your healthy cells?
chubhunter [2.5K]
<span>well this is an interesting question and i would say it may depend on what type of cancer cells you are growing and what type of "normal" cells your growing. One possibility is that cell fusion events may occur between your cancer cells and normal cells, thus creating a few options 1 - making the normal cell cancerous, 2 - making the cancer cell that fused with the normal cell not cancerous anymore. 3 - either way the fused cell will have a different genotype and hence be a different cell.</span>

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
Gelneren [198K]

Answer is : C, increase the surface to allow more space for ATP synthesis.

As it produces large amounts of ATP through oxidative metabolism of pyruvates, which are produced by glycolysis. The main job of mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration.  This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy.  This energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out various functions. Each cell contains a different number of mitochondria The number present is dependent upon how much energy the cell requires.  The more energy a cell needs the more mitochondria that will be present. Cells have the ability to produce more mitochondria as needed.  They also can combine mitochondria to make larger ones. The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP),  through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism.The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known  as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle. However, the mitochondrion has many other functions in addition to the production of ATP.
