Detailed explanation-1: -Basement membrane is NOT found in connective tissue. Connective tissue protects and supports tissues and organs, stores energy reserves as fat, and helps provide immunity. Connective tissue consists of two basic elements: the extracellular matrix and cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer: The presence of a basement membrane is typical of most (a) epithelial tissues. The epithelial tissues are present in most of the regions of the body and there is a basement membrane as a basement layer of the epithelium.
