3 0

Rickets is a disease of growing bones. Consequently, it usually is seen in young, weaned, growing pigs in which there is a deficiency, an imbalance, or a failure of utilization of calcium, phosphorous or vitamin D. Rickets usually is caused by a dietary deficiency of vitamin D or phosphorus. And Osteoporosis a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D. More than 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, but most do not realize that they have it.

One of the big differences is one occurs mostly to pigs and the other effects adults.Another difference is one occurs while the bones are growing and the other happens after the bones are already grown. I hope this helps!!!

Which of the following best describes the function of fruits? Group of answer choices
ratelena [41]

The correct answer is B. Protection and dispersal of seeds

Explanation:

In plants, fruits are structures that form as a result of fertilization, which makes ovules become seeds and flowers maturate to become fruits. This is necessary for the reproduction of plants, as fruits contain seeds or genetical material that is protected by different layers and leads to new plants if seeds are dispersed. The process of dispersal commonly occurs as the fruit falls from the plant or is eaten by other organisms and then disperse in other areas, which allow plants to reproduce. According to this, the main function of fruits is protection and dispersal of seeds.
