Answer 1

The main difference between bone and cartilage are listed below. Bones are the hard, inelastic and a tough organ that forms part of the vertebral skeleton. Cartilage is a soft, elastic and flexible connective tissue that protects the bone from rubbing against each other. Bones are of two types: compact or spongy.

Answer 2

Cartilage and Bones both are part of internal human body organ.

Cartilage is a thin, flexible connective tissue, which is mainly found in the  respiratory tract and external ear of a human organ, whereas Bones are highly rigid connective tissue that finally result in skeleton of vertebrates.
