Bones: they lose calcium, becoming crispy
Muscle: they lose mass 
Cartilage: becomes stiffer, but it does not make airway more rigid
D) connective tissue: It includes bone, blood, and lymph tissue, giving support to the skin and internal organs, becoming increasingly stiff when aging.
It should be connective tissue.

The right option is; D) connective tissue

Aging affects all of the body's cells; and therefore, the basic building blocks of tissues. All cells in the body experience changes with aging. As your body ages, connective tissue changes, becoming stiff making the organs, blood vessels, and airways more rigid.

Connective tissue are important group of tissues that support, and connects other tissues in the body. Connective tissue maintains the body structure and its organ, and also transports substances in the body. Connective tissue is mainly made up of two elements which are; cells and a matrix. The connective tissues include various types of fibrous tissue that differ in cells, density, and functions. They include; tendons, bone, cartilage, ligaments, and adipose (fat) tissue.

Which choice best summarizes the outcome of Reid’s experiment
Ilya [14]

This question seems to be incomplete because the experiment is not described but it is possible to answer it.

The correct answer is B. Redi disproved spontaneous generation.

Explanation:

Francesco Redi was an important scientist during the 17th century known for his experiments about maggots in rotten meat. This is because during Redi's time it was believed rotten meat was the origin of maggots because maggots seemed to emerge from this. Additionally, this perception was related to the spontaneous generation or the idea life can emerge from non-living materials. The results of this experiment show the idea about spontaneous generation was not true in the case of meat and maggots because maggots were simply the result of eggs flies laid on rotten meat. This means this experiment disproved spontaneous generation.

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Sparse coding

Explanation:

Sparse coding can be described or explained as a situation where items are encoded or represented by strong activation of a relatively small sets of neurons.

It should be understood that neurons code for the intensity of stimulus , and this is done in two ways which are

* Frequency coding...here, the firing rate of sensory neurons increases with increased intensity, and

* Population coding....here, the number of primary afferent responding increases.

In this case, the results derived or gotten from both Arthur's and Roger's faces supported the sparse coding.
