Enzymes are catalytic proteins. Connective tissue is, well, tissue and is made of cells, but proteins such as collagen do play an important role.

Some hormones are proteins and some are not. An example of a protein that serves as a hormone is insulin. However, hormones such as testosterone or thyroxin are NOT proteins.

Are all proteins enzymes Explain your answer?

No, not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymes are a type of protein that catalyze specific biochemical reactions. While many enzymes are proteins, there are also non-enzymatic proteins that serve structural, regulatory, or transport functions in the body.


Tendons are composed of what tissue?

There are many types of connective tissues. They all have a matrix of extracellular material and they all have cells that excrete the matrix. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues, loose connective tissue tends to be found around organs. Blood and bone are also considered connective tissues.


Which enzymes causes the breakdown of the connective tissue in follicular cells?

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes responsible for the breakdown of connective tissue in follicular cells. MMPs are important for tissue remodeling and play a role in various physiological and pathological processes, including follicular development and ovulation in the ovaries.


How would you classify blood?

Blood is classified as a connective tissue. It is composed of various components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. It plays a vital role in transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.


What type of tissue is adipose?

Adipose tissue is body fat, a loose connective tissue that stores lipids (fats) and also functions in the endocrine system by secreting hormones.


Does connective tissue contain large amount of matrix?

Yes, connective tissue contains a large amount of extracellular matrix, which is comprised of proteins and ground substance. This matrix provides support, strength, and elasticity to the tissue. The specific composition of the matrix can vary depending on the type of connective tissue.


What tissue has good blood supply and an extensive extracellular matrix?

connective tissue


What would be an example of liquid connective tissue?

Connective tissues are based on fibrous proteins, and include bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and adipose tissue (stores fat). Blood and lymph are generally classified as "fluid connective tissue" although they do not have a fixed structure and are normally constrained by epithelial cells, such as those lining the blood vessels.


What does connective tissue remind you of?

Connective tissue is one of the four classes of tissue in the body (along with nerve, muscle and epithelial tissue). The basic function of connective tissue is to connect and bind other tissues together. Connective tissue differs from the other tissues by the presence of non-cellular material forming a 'ground substance' or 'matrix' which surrounds the cells of the tissue. Usually the cells make up only a small percentage of the volume of the tissue. The ground substance usually contains a variety of protein fibres, the most important of which is collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. The ground substance itself consists of water, salts and proteoglycans, which are proteins linked to polysaccharides.


What is the tissue group with widely scattered cells?

Connective tissue is the tissue group with widely scattered cells. In connective tissue, cells are separated by an extracellular matrix composed of fibers and ground substance. Examples of connective tissue include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and adipose tissue.


Which kind of tissue is blood?

Connective Tissue, because it's formed from the same embryonic layer as other connective tissues.


Scar tissue is a variety of what?

Connective tissue
