Answer:

The correct answer is a. There is an increase in the number of collisions between particles and the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Gas molecules in a container collide with each other and with the wall of the container. Whenever a molecule of gas collides with the wall of the container it exerts certain force on the wall and pressure is the sum of all the forces applied on the wall of container by gas particles.

So if more gas is added in the container then more gas particles will exert force on the wall of the container and more number of collisions will occur which will increase the pressure inside the container.

Therefore the correct answer is a. There is an increase in the number of collisions between particles and the walls of the container.

The formation of fibrocartilage is a common response to injury of hyaline cartilage. do you think fibrocartilage would provide a

iren [92.7K]

The answer is no, fibrocartilage cannot provide articular surface as smooth as the original hyaline cartilage.

This is because these two cartilages are different in composition (structure) and thus provide slightly different function.

Fibrocartilage is stiff and contains many collagen fibers type I and II, while hyaline cartilage is a soft cartilage that contains collage fibers type I. Fibrocartilage contains only few chondrocytes in lacunae, while hyaline cartilage has large number of them. As a result, fibrocartilage provide a restricted mobility, while hyaline cartilage enables smooth movements.
