Answer:

The bone weights more as the bone's thickness is wider for a compacter bone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compact, sometimes called cortical bone, thick bone with firm organic soil and inorganic salt in the ossic matrix leaving only narrow gaps in which the osteocytes or bone cells are present. The bone is sometimes called the cortical bone.
