Assuming isomorphic change, the stress in your leg bones increases as you grow larger.

Explanation:

As the body grows or enlarges, the shape of the leg remains the same, though the area increases, but at a very low or minimal rate as compared to mass or size. So, the mass of a person increases more, than his body area. If height doubles, stress also doubles.

Assuming isomorphic change, the stress in your leg bone REMAINS THE SAME as you grow older.
Isomorphic change means a corresponding or similar change. As one grows older, the stress that exist in the leg bones has a way of changing with the growth and the development of the living organism, thus remaining constant at the level that is comfortable to the living organism at all time.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Asexual reproduction occurs in fungi by budding, spore formation and fragmentation.

sexual reproduction occurs in fungi by fusion of two gametes to produce a zygospore.

Explanation:

Fungi reproduces both sexually and asexually in-other to allow them adapt to any environmental conditions.

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Almost all fungi reproduce asexually by spore formation. a single parent fungi produces spores that are genetically identical to itself. the spore produced can then develop into new fungi without fertilization.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Sexual reproduction in fungi occurs when two haploid gamete fuse together to produce a Zygospore. zygospore is always genetically different from parent.

Why does a euglena has a flagellum that allows it to move?

Artist 52 [7]

Euglena move from one place to another like an animal. When they manufacture their own food, they have to move to such an area where they can receive required amount of sunlight. There are two features on its body that facilitate in its movement. The most important is the flagellum, which is a long whip-like appendage attached to the body. It turns and twists in the water in order to push the body through the water. The other physical feature that plays a vital role in giving a sense of direction to its movement is the eyespot, also located at the anterior of its body. It is a light-sensitive, pigmented organelle which is capable of detecting sunlight. Thus, it orients the movement towards the direction of light, where they can collect sunlight required for making food.The ability to move plays a significant role in vital life processes of Euglena, such as the synthesis of food. Hope that helps ;)
