Many types of connective tissues contain large concentrations of extracellular matrix fibers, which help these tissues resist physical stresses and snap back into their original shape after the physical forces subside. Which types of extracellular matrix components are most likely to contribute to these connective tissues? a. Carbohydrate components b. Neither protein and carbohydrate components are able to contribute these properties to connective tissues c. Protein components d. Both protein and carbohydrate components are equally likely to contribute these properties to connective tissues
