Question

if a teacher asks for an example of how bones change during adolescence, what would b best response? (1 point) they stop rubbing together. they get softer. they are remodeled constantly their growth plates close

Explanation:

During adolescence, bones undergo significant changes. The growth plates (epiphyseal plates) at the ends of long bones are active in childhood for bone elongation. As adolescence progresses, these growth plates gradually close (a process called epiphyseal closure). Once the growth plates close, the bone stops growing in length. Bones are remodeled throughout life (not just adolescence), but the key change specific to adolescence among the options is the closure of growth plates. Bones do not stop rubbing together (joints have cartilage to reduce friction but that's not a change specific to adolescence in the context of bone growth). Bones do not get softer during normal adolescence (osteoporosis can cause soft bones but that's a disease - not a normal adolescent change).

Answer:

Their growth plates close.
