The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Tissues**: The question asks about proteins present in cartilage and bone. We need to focus on these two types of connective tissues. 2. **Understand Bone Composition**: Bones are metabolically active tissues made up of various cells. The key cells involved are: - **Osteoblasts**: These are responsible for the formation and mineralization of bone. - **Osteocytes**: These are mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue. - **Osteoclasts**: These cells are involved in the reabsorption of bone tissue. 3. **Understand Cartilage Composition**: Cartilage is made up of specialized cells known as: - **Chondrocytes**: These cells produce a large amount of the extracellular matrix, which includes collagen and other proteins. 4. **Identify Key Proteins**: - In **cartilage**, the main protein present is **chondrin**. This protein is crucial for the structure and function of cartilage. - In **bone**, the primary protein is **osteocalcin** (often referred to as "ursine" in some contexts), which is involved in bone mineralization and metabolism. 5. **Conclusion**: The proteins present in cartilage and bone are: - **Cartilage**: Chondrin - **Bone**: Osteocalcin (or "ursine") ### Final Answer: The protein present in cartilage is **chondrin**, and the protein present in bone is **osteocalcin (ursine)**. ---
