Question

multiple choice question
which are characteristics of compact bone?
reduce the weight of bone
promote formation of blood cells
provide supportive strength
storage of fat

Explanation:

Compact bone is dense and hard - it provides supportive strength to the body and protects internal organs. Reducing bone weight is more characteristic of spongy (cancellous) bone, blood cell formation occurs in the bone marrow (spongy bone in flat and irregular bones), and fat storage is mainly in yellow bone marrow which is not a primary function of compact bone.

Answer:

Provide supportive strength
