Gigantism
and acromegaly are the two diseases resulting from hyper function of the
pituitary gland.
Gigantism
and acromegaly are conditions that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma
that is because of excessive secretion of a growth hormone called hypersomatotropism.
<span>If GH
hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses pituitary
gigantism occurs. It is a rare condition where skeletal growth velocity and
ultimate stature are increased, but little bony deformity occurs. However,
soft-tissue swelling occurs, and the peripheral nerves are enlarged. Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism and deferred puberty is also normally present, resulting in a
eunuchoid habitus. While Acromegaly
occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same
disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity
and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the
disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory
disorders and malignancies. </span>
Answer:
1. Flower-The biological function of a flower is to affect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs.
2. leave-Leaves provide food and air to help a plant stay healthy and grow. Through photosynthesis, leaves turn light energy into food
3. Stem-The primary functions of the stem are to support the leaves; to conduct water and minerals to the leaves, where they can be converted into usable products by photosynthesis; and to transport these products from the leaves to other parts of the plant, including the roots
4. Roots-Root pressure, in plants, force that helps to drive fluids upward into the water-conducting vessels ( xylem )

Hope this helped :)
Where are the statements, huh wait what
Answer:
1. the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.
3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.
<h2>Cell Analogy</h2>
Explanation:
As we see that parents control everything in the house. Similarly,the nucleus controls everything in the cell.
A door is analogous to the cell membrane because it allows people come and go. Similarly,the cell membrane in a cell can allow certain things to enter and exit.
The cytoplasm fills the space in a cell. It is similar to air which is filled everywhere in the house.
- Nuclear membrane: Security guard
The nucleus in a cell is protected by nuclear membrane. The nuclear membrane is analogous to secuity guard. As people in a house are protected by security guard, similarly nucleus is protected by nuclear membrane.
- Endoplasmic reticulum: Hall ways
Endoplasmic reticulum transport things to other places in the cell. It is similar to hallways which help us to reach different places in the house.
The golgi bodies modify,sort and package proteins.
It send them to other parts of the cell when needed.
It is similar to a Car which transports people and can store stuffs.
The mitochondria in a house is analogous to Stove as it breaks down nutrients and turns them into energy. Similarly, the Stove in our house, cooks foods and it is converted into energy when consumed.
The ribosomes are a cell structure that make protein. It is same as a kitchen in our house where people make food or proteins.
