Discs of cartilage are present between the various small bones (vertebrae) of the backbone. The presence Milage discs between vertebrae makes the backbone flexible, so that it can bend. The cartilage discs aborb the shocks when we run, jump, or do other such activities.

Since life on earth depends on carbon- based molecules most of these food sources are also carbon-based Depending on the complexity of these carbon sources, different organisms can then use different kinds of nutritional processes The outside sourc
