Which component of bone is responsible for its strength?

Biology
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
6 0
<span>The answer is osteoid. It begins with unmineralized collagen fibers and ground substance. Later it becomes a calcified matrix. The matrix is mainly made of collagen and calcium ions.   When not well mineralized, osteoblasts proliferates hence the bone will not have the desired strength. This results to deformation of bone causing rickets</span>

How could the tomato plants response to being eaten by a hornworm caterpillar be described as a function of homeostasis
sesenic [268]

Answer:

First, it's important to get clear on the meaning of Homeostasis.

In simple terms, it refers to the capacity of a living thing (plant or animal) to react or behave in such a way that enables it to continue to survive irrespective of changes in its immediate environment.

       

Explanation:

In humans, the body has a system which reacts to the external stimuli of temprature. When the weather is hot, the brain through a sequence of electrical and chemical signals tells the skin to open up the pore, then we experience venting of sweating which cools the body and regulates internal heat. This is an instance of homeostasis.

This does not mean that the plant or animal is completely immune to such external changes.

In the case of the tomato plant, the hair on the leaves and stem of the plant is an example of Homeostatic responses which have evolved over the years to discourage predators such as the hornworm caterpillar from defoliating the plant.

Cheers!

Explanation:

  • Milkmaids who suffered from cowpox did not suffer from smallpox i.e. they were immune to the disease.
  • If milkmaids did not suffer from smallpox then there must be some element of immunity that they received once they had recovered from cowpox, this would likely be found in their blood as antibodies.
