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.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Simple epithelium is a single layer of cells with every cell in direct contact with the basement membrane that separates it from the underlying connective tissue. In general, it is found where absorption and filtration occur. The thinness of the epithelial barrier facilitates these processes.

During the late cretaceous, the bisti badlands were home to numerous animals including turtles, crocodiles, and even dinosaurs.
vaieri [72.5K]
These animals were living in an environment with a warm climate that results in changing sea levels. These conditions create a lot of shallow inland seas allowing these animals to thrive. The Cretaceous period is the last period of the Mesozoic area where new groups of mammals, birds, and flowering plants appeared on Earth.

This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
