The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides strength to animal's bodies. For example, the ECM in cartilage resists compression and provides protection to joints.

Explanation:

  • The ECM in cartilage is rich in proteoglycans and collagen fibers, which give it the ability to resist compressive forces and provide cushioning and protection to joints. This is essential for the proper functioning of joints, allowing for smooth movement and reducing the risk of injury.

My 6 kg cat wants to push his box of kitty chow off the table so it will spill a snack for his afternoon "tea". The box has a mass of 1 kg (that's 2.2 lb or 9.8 N of gravitational downward force) and the coefficient of friction with the table top for both kitty paws and box is 0.25 . About how much force does he have to push with to get the box to begin to slide? Pick the closest answer to what you calculate using your understanding of static frictional forces. (A) 15 N (B) 25 N (C) 2.5 N (D) He will slide before the box does (E) 2.2 lb (F) 9.8 N Continue Last saved 4:59:46 PM
