evidence

Explanation:

The statement "In cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes expand and contract at the same time" shows cells working together for the tissue's function. The statement "In cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes are joined in the same direction" indicates cells are connected and organized.

Answer:

• "In cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes expand and contract at the same time." supports "The cells in a tissue work together to allow the tissue to carry out its function."
• "In cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes are joined in the same direction." supports "A tissue is made up of many similar cells that are connected and organized."
