Which type of molecule would be most abundant a typical cell?

Water molecules would be the most abundant type of molecule in a typical cell. They play a vital role in various cellular processes such as transportation, chemical reactions, and maintaining cell structure.


What is a bone-digesting cell?

A bone-digesting cell is a type of cell known as an osteoclast, responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue during bone remodeling processes. Osteoclasts play a key role in maintaining healthy bone density and shape by removing old or damaged bone tissue.


What is the most abundant chemical substance found in bone?

Calcium hydroxyapatite is the substance most commonly found in bones. Almost 50 % bone is made of this salt and rest is organic material, mostly collagen fibers. Bones are porous so light weight and Calcium salt gives it hardness and organic fibers gives it flexibility like cement and steel rods in cement concrete.


Hardest and most solid type of connective tissue?

The hardest and most solid type of connective tissue in the body is bone tissue. It provides support and protection for the body's organs and structures, as well as playing a crucial role in mineral storage and blood cell production.


When classifying a tissue that has stratified epithelium with more than one cell type which cell type do you base the classification on?

The classification of a tissue with stratified epithelium with more than one cell type is typically based on the predominant or top layer of cells. The classification is usually determined by the cell type that is most abundant or visible at the surface of the tissue.

What is the primary cell type in connective tissue proper in catilage and bone?

The primary cell type in connective tissue proper in cartilage is the chondrocyte, which is responsible for maintaining the cartilage matrix. In bone, the primary cell type is the osteocyte, which helps maintain bone tissue and communicates with other bone cells. Both cell types are crucial for the health and functionality of their respective tissues.
