The right answer is an underactive pituitary gland

The stunting of children or adolescents is sometimes due to a deficiency of the growth hormone naturally produced by the body. It is then sufficient to give them this substance, in synthetic form, so that they start to "grow" again.

During their visit to the pediatrician who regularly measures them, some children are smaller than the growth standards established for their age and gender. They suffer from growth retar-dation that can come from a deficit, total or partial, of somatotropin, called growth hormone. This biological substance is well named. Naturally secreted by the pituitary (a gland located in the brain), it is indeed essential for children and adolescents to grow well. But his role is not limited to that. It also allows their bones to acquire optimal density and participate in the development of their muscles. Those who are deprived of it remain small.

arsen [322]

Answer: To know if a document is a primary source, check to see when the document is published, if it is an autobiography of a person, a diary, a letter, or the documents happen at the time of the event.

The competition between two organisms can be seen if there is only 1 source of food or habitat space and they're competing against each other for the food or habitat.

There is cooperation between two organisms if they are helping each other with resources or alarming each other if there is danger.

Predation between two organisms happen when one organism hunts the other organism for food.

What is the pair of disaccharides
Aneli [31]
A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose[1]) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose,[2] and maltose.         


Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules.

If you need to prevent waves from eroding a beach , what would you do
guapka [62]
Waves erode a beach by pressing continually against them, right? I have heard of this happening many times. What the people do is build a small trench around the outside of the beach so the waves filter down into it, then back out instead of washing up against the sand. The other thing they do is wait a couple years for the beach to go down, then they put in new sand during the winter.
