Epiphyseal plate is the structure within a bone that contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood.

The epiphyseal plate, also known as epiphysial plate,or physis, or growth plate, is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone or diaphysis. The plate is found in children and adolescents; in adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line<span>.</span>

Pictured is a ribosome. How are ribosomes different from most other cell organelles?

shusha [124]

C. They are not enclosed by a membrane.

D is incorrect because Ribosomes do not contain DNA, the nucleolus does.
B is also incorrect because they aren't located outside the cell, they're in the cell, on the endoplasmic reticulum.
