Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?
produce blood cells |
|
protect bodily organs |
|
store vitamins |
|
store minerals |
Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.

stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?
breaking down starches |
|
breaking down proteins |
|
breaking down fats |

To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)
\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
