Answer:

True

Explanation:

Elastic fibers are composed of elastin, myofibrils and fibrillin. They are distributed <u>separately</u>, and therefore do not form bundles(they actually form a kind of mesh), like collagen fibers.

Elastic fibers are usually thin and long and can stretch up to 1.5x of their total length.

These fibers confer elasticity to the connective tissue. The mesh formed of elastic fibers easily yields to minimal tensions, returning to its original shape as soon as the deforming forces cease.

An example of the action of elastic fibers is when we pull the skin from our hands and release it, the elastic fibers are responsible for quickly returning the skin to its original shape.

s2008m [1.1K]

The options attached to the above question are given below:

A) The boys at first were very polite about my medals and asked me what I had done to get them.

B) I showed them the papers which were written in very beautiful language of full of fratellanza and abnegazione but which really said with the adjectives removed that I had been given the medals because I was an American.

C) after that their manner change a little toward me although I was their friend against Outsiders

D) I was afraid but I was never really one of them after they had read the citation because it had been different with them and they had done very different things to get their medals.

E) I had been wounded it was true but we all knew being wounded after all was really an accident.

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

In the statement given in option D, it can be seen that the speaker was formerly a soldier, who had fought in a war and had been awarded a medal to that effect. But despite knowing about this meritorious service that he had rendered to his country and the award he was given, he was not really accepted as an inner person by the group of people that was refereed to in the statement. They did not think much of him.

~~9. what are the haploid reproductive structures of fungi called? (1 point)
Katarina [22]
The correct answer is the spores. Fungi reproduce asexually by budding, fragmentation, or spore production. Fragments of hyphae can grow new colonies. Mycelial fragmentation occurs when a fungal mycelium separates into pieces with each component growing into a separate mycelium. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte.
