Answer:

Bones are composed of mainly collagen fibre and osteoclast are the cells used to breakdown bone tissue and osteoblast cells replace it.

Explanation:

Bone is made up of tough matrix which contains mainly collagen fibres which provide bone it's flexibility and strength. The deposition of calcium over collagen makes bones more strong. Blood vessels and fat deposits are also parts of a bone.

Osteoclasts are the cells which are specialized for degenerating old bone tissue and osteoblast are the cells which make new bone tissue and replace it from old bone tissue. This process is called bone remodeling.

If red blood cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they will shrink because the water moves out of the cell through osmosis. When red blood cells are places in hypotonic solution they swell and rupture because the water moved in the cell through osmosis.

Explanation:

If red blood cells are placed in 1400mOsm of NaCl, the cell volume will be lost because the wayer in the cell moves out due to higher concentration of salt outside, they will shrink.

Similarly if the red blood cells are places in urea and NaCl the cell will again shrink.
