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>

ycow [4]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

Energy is released from ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) when high energy phosphoanhydride bond ( present between two phosphate) is broken down or hydrolyzed.

This results in the formation of ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and Pi ( inorganic phosphate).

Therefore, hydrolysis of ATP releases energy.
