Which structure within a bone contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood?

a. haversian canals
b. compact bone
c. spongy bone
d. growth plate

The correct answer is option D. "Growth plate".

Explanation:

Growth plates are areas at which new bones grow, mostly located within near the ends of long bones. Growth plates contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood. Therefore, these structures are common in children and teens and most of time they close near the end of puberty (13-15 for girls, and 15-17 for boys).

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
