Which process degrades collagen during tissue remodeling or in response to growth/injury of tissue?
Which process degrades collagen during tissue remodeling or in response to growth/injury of tissue?
- Cross-linking of fibrils
- Breakdown into individual amino acids
- Formation of smaller fragments
- Catalysis by collagenases (correct)
What happens to collagen when it is broken down during degradation?
What happens to collagen when it is broken down during degradation?
- It forms cross-linked fibrils
- It becomes more stable
- It is broken into smaller fragments
- It is broken down into individual amino acids (correct)
How does a mutation affecting the formation of cross-linked fibrils impact collagen stability?
How does a mutation affecting the formation of cross-linked fibrils impact collagen stability?
- It increases collagen stability
- It has no effect on collagen stability
- It forms more stable cross-links
- It decreases collagen stability (correct)
