Connective tissue is different from other major tissue
a) types in that it covers the surface of the body.
b) has cells that are sparsely scattered through a nonliving matrix.
c) is made of cells.
d) conducts electrical impulses throughout the body.

The correct answer is b) has cells that are sparsely scattered through a nonliving matrix.

Explanation:

Connective tissue is the most diverse and widespread of the body. It can be found in bone, ligaments, tendons and more. It's one of its main characteristics is the presence of cells in a matrix called ground substance.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.

it's diluted or concentrated

in a diluted solution, you can add a lot more solute but in concentrated only a little more can be added
