Line the rack with a layer of cheesecloth before setting the figs on top, cut side up. 1  Don't try to dry the figs on a solid sheet. 2  In order to dry properly, they need airflow from below and above. 3  Use a double layer of cheesecloth if you have a rack with very large holes. To add sweetness to your figs before drying, dissolve 1 cup (236 ml) of sugar into 3 cups (709 ml) of water and bring it to a boil. 2  Add the figs to the water and sugar mixture and allow them simmer for approximately 10 minutes. 3  Remove the figs from the water and then follow the steps for sun or oven drying.
Connective Tissues Connective tissue is the most diverse of the four tissue types. The cells of connective tissue are found in a non-cellular matrix. Connective tissue can be found either con-necting, supporting, or surrounding other tissue types. The types of connective tissue that you will observe include
The answer is connective tissue. Connective tissue is one of the four main tissue types; the others are epithelial tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Connective tissue includes tissues such as cartilage, bone, blood and fat. In this lesson, we'll be specifically looking at fibrous connective tissue. The primary purpose of connective tissue is to hold our organs and other tissues together, as well as provide support for our body as a whole.
