hey mate...

here is your answer...

A bone is a hard connective tissue, while cartilage is soft connective tissue. Bones form the skeletal structure of the body, whereas cartilage is present in nose, ear, ribs, larynx, and joints and also act as a shock absorber in these joints.

Bones protect against the mechanical damage and supports the movement of the body, provide shape to the body. And as cartilage being soft they are usually found along the respiratory tract, between the joints and in other flexible parts of the body.

Our body’s skeletal system is made up of bones and cartilage. They provide proper shape, rigidity to the body. Both protect the delicate organs from internal and external shock also. They are also responsible for movement and locomotion of the body, along with the flexibility. In this content, we will take up the important differences between both along with their functions.
