As opposed to other birds, penguins don't need light bones to be able to fly. On the contrary, penguins need to be fairly dense and solid to be able to dive well, and not simply bob like corks to the surface.
Penguins do not have skeletons that are identical to humans certain things are different such as bone length and the presence of a tail in the penguin. But certain structures are referred to as homologous. example: the flipper in the penguin and the arm and hand of a human have the same bone structure just different bone lengths.
No, penguins have solid bones like other birds, which helps with their diving abilities and survival in the water. Hollow bones are found in flying birds to reduce weight for easier flight.
An emperor penguin has between 190-200 bones in its body. This includes bones in the wings, flippers, legs, and other skeletal structures that help them swim and navigate in their icy habitats.
No, fish do not have hollow bones. Fish have a bony skeletal structure that is made up of solid bones. The solid bones provide support and protection to the fish's body and contribute to their buoyancy control in water.

bones are solid
Solid Bones A+
I'm not sure and it does depend on the breed of Penguin but it's around 140 bones.
So that the bird is not too heavy to fly and to aid in the intake of oxygen as the bird breaths in flight.
No. Bones are solid.
For starters, a penguins wings are not big enough to support the body mass of the Penguin, thus not allowing it to fly. These wings do make great flippers, though In regards to the penguin's skeleton: Unlike the majority of other birds, penguins do not have hollow bones, so are much heavier and harder to support with their small wings. The solid, as opposed to hollow, bones act as ballast to help them dive. Also, being solid, they are less prone to breakage from the stresses of swimming. Some (but not all) flying birds have hollow bones to be lighter.

Yes, they do just as all birds do.
