β 14y agoThe skeleton typically makes up about 15% of an adult's total body mass. This percentage can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and overall bone density.
The skeleton system is called so because it forms the framework and support structure of the body, much like how a skeleton provides structure and support to an organism. It consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons that work together to give the body its shape and allow for movement.
Body mass tissue can vary greatly among individuals based on factors like age, sex, and fitness level. On average, body mass tissue accounts for about 40-50% of total body weight in adults. This includes muscle, bone, organs, and other tissues.

Well without it you would be pretty much jello. 1- The skeleton is the frame of the body. Think of a frame of a house. 2- The bones help protect major organs from being damaged easily. 3- A spine for example is the power cord to the brain, and is very important.
The human skeleton is constantly regenerating. It takes about 10 years for your body to completely replace the bone structure. However, the turnover of bone cells occurs at different rates throughout the skeleton.
Bone mass should typically make up 20% of your total body weight.

That depends what your original body mass is.
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.
more than you have, i assure you.
Nitrogen is usually 3% of your mass so when you half your body mass it would be 1.5%
Some disadvantages of having a cartilaginous skeleton include limited support and protection for the body compared to a bony skeleton, which may make the organism more vulnerable to injury. Cartilage is also less capable of withstanding heavy loads and may not provide as much stability for movement. Additionally, cartilage can be more prone to degradation and wear over time.
