Biology

Answer:

A compound is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means.

Explanation:

A pure substance is one whose composition does not vary, even if the physical conditions in which it is found change. For example, water has a formula that is H2O and is always the same, which indicates that it is made up of molecules in which there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. If that formula changed, it would be another different substance.

A pure substance cannot be broken down into other simpler substances using physical methods.  Therefore, a pure substance has its own or defined characteristic properties.

Within the pure substances 2 types are distinguished: Elements and compounds.

Goryan [66]
1. it <span>supports muscles and tissue

2.it also </span><span>protects the vital organs

3. </span>The skeleton gives the body its shape, which changes with growth. In addition to determining characteristics such as height and the size of the hands and feet, stable body shape enables essential functions. For example, a stable rib cage and spine enable the lungs to fully inflate when breathing. Conditions such as osteoporosis of the spine and broken ribs can alter the shape of the chest and impair this vital body function.

Conditions such as osteoporosis of the spine and broken ribs can alter the shape of the chest and impair this vital body function.

5.Larger bones contain bone marrow, a spongy tissue inside the bones. There are two main types of marrow, red and yellow. Red marrow is responsible for production of all of the body's red blood cells and many of its white blood cells. Red blood cells are produced at an average rate of approximately 200 million per day. These cells carry life-sustaining oxygen to the body tissues.


In adults, red marrow is found primarily in the breastbone, hips, ribs, skull, spinal bones and at the end of long bones of the arms and legs. Several types of white blood cells, which protect the body from infections, are also produced in red bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow contains primary fat cells but can transform into red marrow if the body needs to increase blood cell production, such as if anemia develops
