Compare collagen and myoglobin with regards to each of the following: (a) secondary structure; (b) water solubility; (c) function; (d) location in the body.
Name the two major components of matrix and, if applicable, subclasses of each component.
Gelatin is primarily composed of collagen, which is responsible for the remarkable tensile strength of connective tissue. it is the basic ingredient of jello; yet, as you probably experienced many times yourself while consuming the strawberry-flavored variety, jello has virtually no tensile strength. Why?
