Answers

Answer: Cartilage serves as a cushion between bones.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The statement 'cartilage serves as a cushion between bones'  BEST describes the function of cartilage (Option B).

Cartilage is a class of flexible connective tissue that acts to keep joint motion fluid by covering the bones in their joints and thus protecting them against friction and impacts.

There are different types of cartilage tissue in the body and they cover different structures (e.g., spine, lungs, ears, joints, bones, etc).

Cartilage is composed of a specialized type of cells called chondrocytes, which secrete a cartilaginous matrix capable of lubricating the joints.

In conclusion, the statement 'cartilage serves as a cushion between bones'  BEST describes the function of cartilage (Option B).

How social media influence you

Answers

It can teach you certain things that you may not know they’re are pros and cons to social media it helps you finding out Information You never knew you can do research on a project or to look things up more faster the bad thing about social media is people can get addicted to it or you can find inappropriate which is why need to be careful what you look up

Answer:Social media is changing more than the way we communicate. Since the first caveman grunted at his wife once to say he was hungry, and twice to say he was lonely, communication has influenced real world actions. When a society shifts how it is communicating then the flow of real world actions also changes. Influence, a topic I am always talking about, can be about changing minds, but it becomes particularly powerful when it turns into action. People are habitual and if left alone and observed, they can become fairly predictable. Changing habits then becomes very powerful.
