The two main components of the extracellular matrix are Elastin and Collagen.
The extracellular matrix is an intricate macromolecular network that is found in the extracellular space. The matrix is composed of polysaccharides and very diverse proteins, locally secreted and assembled forming a complex network that surrounds the cells. The matrix is highly developed in connective tissue and its derivatives. The extracellular matrix is formed mainly by proteins, glycosaminoglycans,proteoglycans and glycoproteins, organized in diverse networks that constitute the different tissues. <em>The most abundant proteins are collagen and elastin.</em>
Collagen is a family of very abundant proteins in the body of animals. Collagen molecules can represent 25 to 30 % of all body proteins. Its main mission in the tissues is to form a framework that supports the tissues and that resists the forces of mechanical tension.
The elastin molecules are very close to each other through links between the regions rich in the amino acid lysine. It is an abundant protein in may extracellular matrices and appears as a component of the so called elastic fibers, which are onsoluble aggregates of proteins.
Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
Answer:
The producers-Sea weed-Perform photosynthesis.
The filter feeders- sponges, chiton-eat floating planktons.
Grazers -Snails,mussels feed on- floating planktons.
Carnivores such as sea stars feeds on snails
Explanation:
- The producers are placed at the bottom level in energy pyramid and are prime factor in the aquatic eco system which provides energy and perform photosynthesis with the help of water,sunlight and chlorophyll.
- The filter feeders are those that feeds upon small particles that are present in the water.
- Grazers are those organisms that feeds on producers like phytoplanktons.
- Carnivores are those organisms that feeds on herbivores.
