The correct answer is "cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells".

The plate near the end of long bones is called the epiphyseal plate and is composed of cartilage in children. Cartilage and cartilage cells are capable of dividing and adding cartilage matrix which contributes to the lengthening of the bone; then this cartilage will slowly be replaced by bone through aging and hormonal factors.

A newly discovered solar system is found 300 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 kilometer = 6.68 × 10^{-9} (<<<AU is in scientific notation here)

To convert 300 billion kilometer (3,000,000,000 km)  into AU you must multiply the kilometer by the equivalent of 1 km in AU (6.68 × 10^{-9})

3,000,000,000 × (6.68 × 10^{-9}) =  20.04 AU

Hope this helped!
