Pairs of extracellualr matrix components is shown.

Please select the one in which the first molecules is responsible to resist compressive forces, and the second molecule is responsible to resist tensile forces

a. Collagens - glycoproteins

b. Glycoproteins - collagens

c. Glycosaminoglycans - glycoproteins

d. Glycosaminoglycans - collagens

e. Collagens - glycosaminoglycans

Solution

d. Glycosaminoglycans - collagens

The Glycosaminoglycans found in the ECM interact with other ECM components provide resistance to compressive forces. Collagen fibers confer tensile strength
