Question 2 Please choose the correct answer to this question. Octavio found lead in the bones of the princess. What is the function of the lead found in the bone tissue? It is the primary ingredient in the collagen fibers. It is the primary mineral in the hydroxyapatite salts. It serves no normal function and its appearance indicates toxicity. It carries oxygen within the bone tissue for metabolism. It is stored in the osteocytes. 10 pts

The functions of bone tissue follow its structure. In bone tissue, the strong collagen fibers give bones tensile strength (flexibility) and resistance to pulling force; while the inorganic salts (calcium hydroxyapatite and other mineral salts) give bones compression resistance (resistance to compression and heavy weights). If the bones are treated by the following treatments: Bones baked for 2 hours at 400°F (hint for answering question: which component of bone tissue is destroyed by baking?) Bones soaked in 1M Nitric acid for 6 hours (which component of bones tissue is eaten away by acid?)
