Nutrients are brought to compact bone through which mechanism?
a. diffusion through the bony matrix
b. diffusion through canaliculi
c. transport through haversian canals
d. transport through collagen fibers

The correct answer of the given question above would be option B. DIFFUSION THROUGH CANALICULI. Nutrients are brought to compact bone through the mechanism of diffusion through the canaliculi. Canaliculi are tiny channels between lacunae that allow for osteocyte communication. Hope this answer helps. 

B
The canaliculi are small channels embedded in the bone through which useful substances diffuse to the bone.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein

Enzyme. anything that ends in "ase" is usually an enzyme.
