Osteocytes are bone cells. Collagen fibers and calcium salts are found in abundance between and among the osteocytes. The collag

en and calcium salts are
a) components of the plasma membrane of osteocytes.
b) part of the extracellular matrix secreted by osteocytes.
c) extensions of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer:

Part of the extracellular matrix secreted by osteocytes. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Cells which are present on bones are known as osteocytes. Bone is composed of extracellular matrix, and cells. There are three types of cells which are present in the bones:

1) Osteoprogenitor cells.

2) Osteoblast.

3) Osteocyte.

Extracellular matrix is composed of organic matrix consisting glycoproteins, proteoglycans, osteocalcin also known as calcium binding proteins, and osteonectin which anchors bone mineral to collagen.

Hey guys...........please help me with this one❤❤❤❤ Every organism needs food. Does a cell also need it? Explain very briefly.
Alexxx [7]

Cells do need food. In a process known as cellular respiration, cells convert biochemical energy (oxygen as food) from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.


hope this helps.. :D

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will Group of answer choices increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli. de
Pie

Answer:

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate is the rate of air flow in the alveoli of the lung during normal breathing. It is measured in milliliters of air per minute (mL/min). The alveolar ventilation rate is an important factor in determining the concentrations (partial pressures) of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the functioning alveoli.

A high rate of alveolar ventilation, would result in a rapid influx of oxygen-rich air and efflux carbon dioxide-filled air from the alveoli.  This ultimately results in an increase in the concentration of oxygen and a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide within the alveoli.

Effects of alveolar ventilation on partial pressures of alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen (PACO₂ and PAO₂)

If the  alveolar ventilation rate is increased (and carbon dioxide production is unchanged), then the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli, PACO₂ will decrease.

If the  alveolar ventilation rate increases, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, PAO₂ will increase.
