Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bone is a dynamic tissue made up of a mixture of hardened collagen (a protein) and minerals (like calcium and phosphate). This combination gives bone its strength and rigidity. Chondroitin sulphate is a component of cartilage, not bone. Columnar epithelial cells are found in tissues like the digestive tract and have no role in bone formation. Fibrous connective tissue is found in structures like tendons and ligaments, but not in bone.
