Question
Chapter 4, Problem 2AYKA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of scleroderma disease, as in this disease excessive collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins are produced, and are deposited in tissues throughout the body.
Introduction:
The substances thatare present on the outer surface of the cells make the extracellular matrix. It contains collagen, enzymes, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoprotein. It provides structural and biochemical support around cells. This extracellular matrix can be a fluid, a thick gel, or a solid depending upon the tissues.

a)What is the difference of collagen found in the basement membrane versus the other types of collagen?
b)Why do you think that other kind of collagen cannot found there?
c) Do you think the real cause of dwarfism is only growth hormone? If not what is the role of collagen in dwarfism?
Collagenopathies, conditions characterized by the production of one or more types of defective collagen proteins, are in a group of disorders called connective tissue diseases. Many collagenopathies feature arthritis or other joint problems as part of the symptoms of the disorder. Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individual's joints?
Which amino acids are hydroxylated in collagen formation?
options:
proline, hydroxypoline, glutamate
proline, hyrdoxyproline, tyrosine
proline, hyrdoxyproline, glycine
proline, hyrdoxyproline, tryptophan
