You can tell the age of a skeleton by looking at:

Biology
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Calculating the age of a skeleton can be done by looking at the number of fused bones (option 3).

Explanation:

The calculation of skeleton bone age takes into account the complete ossification of bones, which occurs at various stages of human development.

<u>In childhood, the epiphyses or ends of long bones are not completely ossified but are formed by cartilage</u>, due to the process of growth. When development is achieved, the growth nuclei and cartilage disappear.

Bone age is a reliable parameter for calculating chronological age, as they are quite approximate.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>    1. </em><u><em>The length of the femur</em></u><em> is useful for calculating height. </em>

<em>    2. </em><u><em>The shape of the pelvis</em></u><em> helps to differentiate the sex. </em>

<em>    4. </em><u><em>The color of the bones</em></u><em> is not a useful parameter to calculate the age of the skeleton.</em>

could some one describe at least three different functions of proteins and explain how the shape of a protein affects its functi
gtnhenbr [62]
A protein's shape is important because each protein has a specific action (or function) that it does, and it has to "fit" other molecules sometimes. For example, enzymes have active sites where the molucules bind to it. The active site is shaped to fit specific molecules. The enzyme sucrase only fits the sucrose molecule. Another example is hemoglobin, which does not have a nucleus because it functions as the carrying molecule for oxygen and needs the space for storage. Protein carrier molecules in cell membranes also have receptor sites that are shape specific to the molecule they are intended to transport.
A protein has 4 levels of structure and cannot funtion unless it has achieved the tertiary level.



1.some (most cases) protein acting as enzymes 2.some proteins help to maintain structural frame work (like virus core proteins)3.there are so many cannot generalize more,
