Questions and Answers
Which of the following best describes the process by which collagen molecules assemble into fibrils?
Which of the following best describes the process by which collagen molecules assemble into fibrils?
- The process is influenced by the overlapping individual triple strands.
- The process is independent of the diameter of the fibrils. (correct)
- The process is influenced by the regular axial periodic pattern.
- The process is dependent on the diameter of the fibrils.
What is the main characteristic of the axial periodic pattern in collagen fibrils?
What is the main characteristic of the axial periodic pattern in collagen fibrils?
- The pattern is staggered.
- The pattern is dependent on fibril diameter.
- The pattern is a consequence of overlapping triple strands. (correct)
- The pattern is irregular.
What is the purpose of the D-banding pattern in collagen fibrils?
What is the purpose of the D-banding pattern in collagen fibrils?
- The pattern is a result of fibril diameter.
- The pattern determines the diameter of the fibrils.
- The pattern provides structural stability to the fibrils. (correct)
- The pattern influences the assembly of collagen molecules.
