Imagine you have two sets of 8 blocks, each measuring 1cm along each edge. You arrange one set into a large cube, 2 blocks × 2 blocks × 2 blocks. You arrange the other set into a straight beam, 1 block × 8 blocks. Compared with the beam, the large cube has

• a smaller volume and surface area.

• the same volume and surface area.

• a greater volume and surface area.

• the same volume but a smaller surface area.

How does connective tissue differ from the other three major tissue types?

• Connective tissue often consists of relatively few cells embedded in an extracellular matrix.

• Connective tissue consists of contractile proteins.

• Connective tissue consists of cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses.

• There are three types of connective tissue.

• Connective tissue is found lining body surfaces.

Which of these describes loose connective tissue?

• It is a loose weave of fibers that functions as a packing material.

• It is composed of many fibers that connect bone to bone and muscle to bone.

• It is a rigid material that provides structural support.
