Question

click and drag each term to the appropriate category to demonstrate whether it is related to the fibers or the ground substance of the connective tissue matrix. labels drop zones reset all glycosaminoglycans fibers (1/2) ground substance (2/2) chondroitin responsible for the flexibility of bone responsible for the stiffness of cartilage collagen

Explanation:

Glycosaminoglycans and chondroitin are components of the ground - substance of connective tissue matrix. They contribute to the properties like stiffness of cartilage. Collagen is a fiber in connective tissue and is responsible for the flexibility of bone. The property 'responsible for the flexibility of bone' is related to fibers (collagen), and 'responsible for the stiffness of cartilage' is related to ground - substance (glycosaminoglycans and chondroitin).

Answer:

Glycosaminoglycans: Ground Substance
Chondroitin: Ground Substance
Responsible for the flexibility of bone: Fibers
Responsible for the stiffness of cartilage: Ground Substance
Collagen: Fibers
