Which of the following statements is/are true? a. loose connective tissue includes cartilage. b. closely packed bundles of collagen fibers are characteristic of loose connective tissues. c. dense irregular connective tissue has a high proportion of elastic fibers. d. dense connective tissue is dominated by collagen fibers.

d. Dense connective tissue is dominated by collagen fibers.

Explanation:

Bones and cartilage are the supporting connective tissue while loose and dense connective tissues are categorized as the connective tissue proper. Cartilage does not have nerves and blood vessels in its extracellular matrix.

Loose connective tissues have the fibers loosely arranged between the cells while the dense connective tissues have tightly packed fibers.

Both dense regular and irregular connective tissues mainly have a high proportion of white collagen fibers. Tendons and ligaments are the examples of dense regular connective tissues while the dense irregular connective tissues are present in the inner location of the skin.

starchy vegetables are high in carbohydrates.

starchy vegetables contain more carbohydrates than non-starchy vegetables.

explanation:

there are two primary categories of carbohydrates, essentially differentiated on the basis of their carbohydrate content (which is in the form of starch - a complex carbohydrate):

those vegetables which contain little amounts of starch are termed as non-starchy vegetables, and some examples include: artichokes, broccoli and bean sprouts.

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.

answers are:

lysogenic     viral dna merges with host cell dna

lysogenic     no symptoms

lytic               viral dna takes over

lysogenic     virus does not destroy host cell

lytic               virus destroys host cell

lytic               induces symptoms of viral infection

lysogenic       cell reproduces and spreads provirus
