False. You have it backwards.
Bone is the hard structure that give your body form, posture, and strength. They are stiff and cannot bend. They are hard.
Cartilage is the soft, flexible, yet tough tissue found in the tops of your ears, and the tip of your nose.
When you are an infant, many bones are partly cartilage, especially the skull. When you start growing, these bones get bigger and harden into actual bones.

What is a difference between bone and cartilage. 1. bones are more flexible than cartilage 2. bones are harder than cartilage 3.bones are larger than cartilage?
Bones are harder than cartilage, which is a firm but flexible connective tissue. Bones are also larger and provide more structural support and protection for the body compared to cartilage. Bones contain bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells, while cartilage does not have this function.
Is Cartilage more brittle than Bone?
Cartilage, as a rule, is the slowest healing tissue in the human body. The reason for this is the virtual absence of blood flow in this tissue. Most of the nutrition for cartilage comes from synovial fluid, the lubricating fluid in most of our joints. There are other types of cartilage in the body such as hyaline cartilage, forming the connection in the front of the rib cage. This type is also considered avascular, meaning without blood supply. Bones on the other hand heal much faster than most tissues because of their rich supply of blood. The blood carries the nessecary building blocks required in the healing process.
What does bone have that cartilage does not?
Bone is harder and more rigid than cartilage due to its mineralized matrix, predominantly composed of calcium and phosphorus. Bone also contains specialized cells like osteocytes, which are responsible for maintaining bone structure and function. Cartilage, on the other hand, is more flexible and resilient due to its high water content and lacks the mineralized matrix found in bone.
Does a small baby have more cartilage in its bones than it will have in later life because the cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells?
Yes, babies are born with more cartilage in their bones as this serves as a scaffold for bone development. As the child grows, the cartilage is gradually replaced by bone cells through a process called ossification, resulting in harder and stronger bones.

Explain how the canaliculi allow bone to heal more efficiently than cartilage?
Bone is far more vascular than cartilage, which means the bone receives nutrients/oxygen/other good stuff more and easier than cartilage. Cartilage has almost no blood supply, which makes healing difficult. Hope that helps..
