Answer:

The diameter of the sun is 285 times larger then the diameter of Mercury

Explanation:

Given Data

diameter of the sun = 1.39 x 10⁶ km

diameter of Mercury = 4.88 x 10³ km

how many times larger is the diameter of the sun (x) then Mercury = ?

Solution

First we remove the exponential form to make it simple

    diameter of the sun = 1.39 x 10⁶ km

    which is equal to 1390000

    diameter of Mercury = 4.88 x 10³ km

    which is equal to 4880

Now we divide the larger value bu the smaller one

    x = 1390000 ÷ 4880

    x = 285

The diameter of the sun is 285 times larger then the diameter of Mercury

Fetal vertebrae develop through endochondral ossification from a preexisting __________ model. The second step of repair of a fr
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1. hyaline cartilage

2. a fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In endochondral ossification to produce fetal vertebrae, cartilage is substituted with a bone. The process of endochondral ossification includes the development of hyaline cartilage, also called the cartilage model. The hyaline cartilage develops from the chondroblasts derived from mesenchymal cells. The division of chondroblasts results in the growth of hyaline cartilage. It is followed by the development of the primary ossification center wherein the cartilage tissue is replaced with the bone matrix.  

During the repair of these bones, a fibrocartilage callus is formed. Fibroblasts present in the site where the bone is broken produce collagen fibers and the cells derived from periosteum develop into chondroblasts and begin to produce fibrocartilage in this region. The fibrocartilage and collagen fibers together make the fibrocartilage callus that joins the broken ends of the bone.
