Best Answer

Bone marrow comes in two categories, red and yellow. Red is common in young children's bones. It creates red blood cells. As you become a teenager, you have less red and more yellow bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow stores fat so it can later be used as energy, but there are still some bones that contain red bone marrow.
