Answer:

patella bone

Explanation:

Although, the condyles articulate with the tibia to form the knee joint. But, Anteriorly, the smooth surfaces of the medial and lateral condyles join together to form a wide groove called the patellar surface, which provides for articulation with the patella bone. The epicondyles(a protuberance above or on the condyle) provide attachment for muscles and supporting ligaments of the knee.

Posteriorly, the medial and lateral condyles are separated by a deep depression called the intercondylar fossa. The combination of the medial and lateral condyles with the patellar surface gives rise to the distal end of the femur a horseshoe (U) shape.

The correct answer is C. More helium and less hydrogen

Explanation:

The Sun, which is the center of the solar system, is mainly composed of two gases: hydrogen and helium. Additionally, every second and through nuclear fusion the hydrogen is fused and this creates helium, which is a heavier element. This implies as the sun ages the amount of hydrogen will decrease as the amount of helium increases, as a result of constant nuclear fusion. Indeed, right now helium exists in a lower quantity than hydrogen, but every second, minute, hour, etc. the amount of helium increases, and it is expected in millions of years there is more helium than hydrogen.
