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.

8_murik_8 [283]

Healthcare associated or nosocomial pneumonia are acquired by non-hospitalized patients in hospitals or other health care facilities. Pneumonia are poly-microbial in origin and the causative agents are viruses, bacteria and fungi. In nosocomial pneumonia, bacteria enter the lower respiratory tract due to mechanical ventilation. Meanwhile, persons in general population experience community-acquired pneumonia.

1pt Place the following steps in the correct order:
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The delivery of the paternal genome to the egg is a primary goal of fertilization. In preparation for this step, the nucleus of the developing spermatozoon undergoes extensive morphological and biochemical transformations during spermatogenesis to yield a tightly compacted sperm nucleus. These modifications are essentially reversed during fertilization. As a result, the incorporated sperm nucleus undergoes many steps in the egg cytoplasm as it develops into a male pronucleus. The sperm nucleus (1) loses its nuclear envelope, (2) undergoes nucleoprotein remodeling, (3) decondenses and increases in size, (4) becomes more spherical, (5) acquires a new nuclear envelope, and (6) becomes functionally competent to synthesize DNA and RNA. These changes are coordinate with meiotic processing of the maternal chromatin, and often result in behaviors asynchronous with the maternal chromatin. For example, in eggs fertilized during meiosis, the sperm nucleus decondenses while the maternal chromatin remains condensed. A model is presented that suggests some reasons why this puzzling behavior exists. Defects in any of the processes attending male pronuclear development often result in infertility. New assisted reproductive technologies have been developed that ensure delivery of the sperm nucleus to the egg cytoplasm so that a healthy embryo is produced. An emerging challenge is to further characterize the molecular mechanisms that control sperm nuclear transformations and link these to causes of human infertility. Further understanding of this basic process promises to revolutionize our understanding of the mystery of the beginning of new life.

Lerok [7]
#1.  Typical United States weather patterns show the continental polar air mass moving south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Why does this air mass movement happen?

C) The polar air mass moves south to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.

#2.  Running a mineral across a porcelain plate to see the color it leaves behind on the plate may be described as testing for D) streak.

#3. D. Carbonization preserves soft tissues of plants or animals as a thin carbon film, usually in fine-grained shale sediments.

#4.  We can divide natural resources into two basic categories: renewable and nonrenewable. Consider the bar graph of resource usage. If we wanted to reduce the use of nonrenewable natural resources, it would be least important to A) reduce deforestation.

#5. Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who is best known for the theory that the sun is near the center of the universe and that the earth and other planets revolve around it. Copernicus did not believe that the planets were influenced by or revolved due to the sun; instead he believed that the sun was located near the center of the universe and that it was this center which influenced those bodies and caused them to revolve. When this theory was first published, the scientific community did not accept it. Which reason BEST explains the reason for rejection of this theory?

C) It lacked sufficient evidence and explanation.

Hope I helped!!
