Question
in the heart, cardiomyocytes form cardiac muscle tissue. the function of this tissue is to expand and contract, or beat, forcefully. cardiomyocytes are long, thin cells. in cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes are lined up in the same direction. they are connected to one another on each end. because cardiomyocytes are connected, they can send signals to one another. these signals allow the cardiomyocytes to expand and contract with the same rhythm, so the cardiac muscle tissue beats together. match each evidence statement to the claim that it supports. in cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes expand and contract at the same time. in cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes are joined in the same direction. claim a tissue is made up of many similar cells that are connected and organized. the cells in a tissue work together to allow the tissue to carry out its function. evidence
- For the claim "A tissue is made up of many similar cells that are connected and organized", the evidence "In cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes are joined in the same direction" supports it as it shows the organization (joined in the same direction) of cells (cardiomyocytes) which is part of what makes a tissue (cardiac muscle tissue).
- For the claim "The cells in a tissue work together to allow the tissue to carry out its function", the evidence "In cardiac muscle tissue, groups of cardiomyocytes expand and contract at the same time" supports it. Since the function of cardiac muscle tissue is to expand, contract (beat), and having the cells (cardiomyocytes) expand and contract at the same time helps the tissue carry out its function.
