Where would you expect to find proteoglycan molecules?
The ground substance of the extracellular matrix.
Which extracellular material is found in ligaments and tendons?
The space between cells can be called the extracellular space, the extracellular material, or the extracellular matrix. This space is not a vacuum; it is filled with material. If the material is gel-like it is called the ground substance, which is filled with many dissolved solute particles, and the tissue will be loose. If the material in the extracellular space has some fibers of protein in it, the entire tissue will have a stronger consistency.
What are two basic ways that cells can digest a substance?
Extracellular digestion and intercellular digestion.
What is another name for cartilage cells?
Cartilage is composed of cells called chondrocytes. Chondrocytes produce extracellular matrix of collagen fibers, ground substance, and elastin. Cartilage is the only connective tissue that does not contain blood vessels.
What is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substance with all the characteristics of the substance?
elements
What are the characteristics of connective tissue?
Connective tissue contains specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, ground substance (fluid) and matrix. Matrix is protein fibers and ground substance combined and it surrounds the specialized cells.

The ground substance of the extracellular matrix.
What is the difference between matrix and ground substance?
Extracellular matrix includes not just ground substance, but also protein fibers. Ground substance consists of fluid, nonfibrous protein and other molecules.

What three things does connective tissue contain?
Connective tissue can contain more than 3 things. However, to have a broad general view, connective tissue proper always consists of 1. cells 2. extracellular fibers and 3. a ground substance that the extracellular fibers are embedded in. The types of cells are several. The extracellular fibers have been classified and subclassified into a great number of categories. The ground substance also varies greatly from one region of the body to another.
What are two basic ways that cells can digest a substance?
Extracellular digestion and intercellular digestion.
What types of connective tissue fill in the spaces?
the extracellular matrix. It contains a gel-like ground substance and protein fibers. connective tissues have a lot of extracellular matrix compared to epithelial tissues that have very little.
When a substance is in an mixture what does each substance keep?
