what is the function of connective tissue?
to produce hormones and enzymes
to regulate body temperature
to store energy in the form of fat
to provide support and structure to the body
to transport oxygen to the cells

Explanation:

Connective tissue, such as bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue, serves to support and give structure to the body. Hormones and enzymes are produced by glandular - epithelial cells. Body temperature regulation involves the skin and sweat glands. Energy storage in the form of fat is mainly a function of adipose connective tissue but the broader function of connective tissue is support and structure. Transport of oxygen is a function of red blood cells in blood (a type of connective tissue but not the main function of connective tissue as a whole).

Answer:

To provide support and structure to the body
