In loose connective tissue, if the number of fibroblasts is doubled and the secretion of collagen fibers is tripled, by what factor does the strength provided by the collagen fibers increase, assuming a direct proportionality between fiber quantity and tissue strength?
2 times
3 times
6 times
9 times
