b. stores and releases fats inside of your bone structure
c. stores and releases water inside of your bone structure
d. facilitates movements through bones acting as levers

Answer 1

The function of the skeletal system that is NOT correct is:

a. produces red blood cells and is vital for survival

The correct answer is a because the skeletal system does not directly produce red blood cells. Instead, red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, which is located within the bones. The skeletal system provides a supportive framework for the body, protects internal organs, facilitates movement, stores minerals, and produces some immune cells, but it does not produce red blood cells.
