Answer:

<u>an age group during which a child attains sexual maturity and becomes capable of reproduction.</u>

Explanation:

Puberty is also known as adolescence. For girls it is an age group between  10 to 13 years while for boys it is an age group between 11 to 14 years.

This age is characterized by secretion of hormones controlled by brain and secreted by gonads like <u>estrogen in ovaries in females</u> and<u> testosterone in testes in males.</u> The secretion of these hormones leads to the sudden changes in the body appearance which makes the body sexually mature.

For example : Puberty in girls leads to the development of primary sex organs like uterus, vagina etc. and secondary sex characteristics like enlargement of breast.

Puberty in males on the other hand leads to the development of primary sex organs like penis and testes and secondary sex characteristics like enlargement of chest, axillary and pubic hair & deepening of voice.

Answer:

1. Explain why predators need to eat more than primary consumers.  

Explanation:

Predators need to eat more than primary consumers because in the trophic pyramid, primary consumers are at the bottom which means they receive the most energy because they eat the plants. As the pyramid goes on upwards, energy is lost each time, so that means by the time it reaches the top of the pyramid their is only about 0.1% of the energy we started with when the primary consumers ate the producers. Meaning, the predators need to eat more than the primary consumers because although the predators eat more than the primary consumers, they still at the end of the day get the same amount of energy just one eats more than another.
