Give two reason why bones are living material?

Bones are considered living material because they contain living cells, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone formation and resorption. Additionally, bones are highly vascularized, meaning they have a rich supply of blood vessels, allowing for the delivery of nutrients and oxygen, as well as the removal of waste products. This dynamic nature enables bones to grow, repair, and adapt to mechanical stress.

You could politely explain that teeth are not classified as bones, as bones contain living cells and teeth do not. You could mention that teeth are made up of enamel, dentin, and pulp, while bones are composed of collagen, calcium, and other minerals.


What is responsible for breaking down bones?

Yes bones can be decomposed like any other living organism. Unlike flesh types of organic material that are consumed by animals and insects bones are decomposed by acids and minerals found in soil. Some animals stomach acid is strong enough to digest bone matter like crocodiles alligators as with mammals rat and rodents. Snakes and sharkes are also able to digest bone if they were not while to digest the bones they would dye because the bone material wouldnt beable to pass thrue the digestive system. Bones are able to decompose in soil it jot then there wouldnt be fossils of dinosaurs which is a process of decomposition where bone material is replaced by minerals there for fossils have no dna/rna and are nuthen more then minerals in the form of bones or plant material
