Answer
Connective tissues are most abundant and widely distributed in the body of complex animals. The cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and embedded in an inercellular matrix. The matrix may be jelly like, fluid, dense or rigid.Functions of connective tissue:
- It binds different structure with another like skin with muscles and muscles with bones, etc.
- It forms a supporting framework of cartilage and bones in the body.
- Blood flows and transports gases, digested food, hormones and waste materials to different parts of the body.
- Adipose tissue helps in the storage of fats.

A liquid compound $X$ of molecular mass $18u$ can be obtained from a number of natural sources. All the animals and plants need liquid $X$ for their survival. When an electric current is passed through $200$ grams of pure liquid $X$ under suitable conditions, then $178$ grams of gas $Y$ and $22$ grams of gas $Z$ are produced. Gas $Y$ is produced at the positive electrode whereas gas $Z$ is obtained at the negative electrode. Moreover, gas $Y$ supports combustion whereas gas $Z$ burns itself causing explosions.

There are four substances $W, X, Y$ and $Z.$ The substance $W$ is a dark violet solid having diatomic molecules. A solution of $W$ in alcohol is used as a common antiseptic $C.$ The substance $X$ is a white solid which is usually recovered from sea water on a large scale. The substance $Y$ is a white solid which is insoluble in water and used in the form of small balls for the safe storage of woollen clothes. The substance $Z$ is a yet another white solid which is used in making commonly used dry cells.
