Does skeletal system perform any function alone?

The skeletal system interacts with all the systems within the body. It interacts with the muscular, integumentary, digestive, cardiovascular, nervous, etc. systems. Also it doesn’t interact in the same way for each system there is a different interaction between them.

The skeletal system and the integumentary system interact because the integumentary or skin provides not only protection, but also gives the skeleton a nicer look. The muscular system provides layers of protection plus helps in the movement of the skeleton. The cardiovascular system provides the blood to help the bones grow and the bones also help in the blood cell formation. The digestive system plays a key role because it delivers the vitamins and calcium to the bones so that they can stay strong and healthy.

So as you can see, there are a lot of things the skeletal system helps and needs help with throughout the body. Each and everyone are needed to keep the body healthy and moving.

Out of the five options, I believe that only C is the best answer. Not A because even though proteins can act as enzymes, they usually don't while in a cellular membrane Not B because nonpolarized molecules can pass through the rest of the phospholipid membrane rather easily, so they don't need to be carried across. Not D because that is reserved for the nucleus only. Not E because the recognition sites of a cell are the carbohydrate chains that are attached to the peripheral proteins "on" the cellular membrane, not the integral proteins which are the ones "in" a membrane. Integral proteins generally act in two ways: as a carrier or as a channel. Carriers act like a river ferry carry a set of objects from one side to the other, but not connecting both sides together like a bridge. Channels act like a tunnel allowing objects to pass through them from one side of the membrane to the other.
