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.

The column of mercury in the barometer is lowest when the barometer is ion location 4. Atmospheric pressure measured by the barometer decreases with an increase in altitude. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the column of air above the ground level at any given point on the earths surface thus an increase in altitude leads to a decrease in this column leading to a decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Vegetable shortening is a food product rich in trans fatty acids. It is produced by converting several cis double bonds totransd
liraira [26]

Answer:

Partial hydrogenation

Explanation:

Vegetable oils naturally contain cis fatty acids. These fatty acids have double bonds and the two H atoms are on the same side of bond, producing a kink in  the structure.

Cis fatty acids are converted into trans fatty acids by the process of partial hydrogenation or vegetable shortening. Hydrogen is added to convert some of the double bonds into single bonds but all double bonds are not removed. However, the cis double bonds end up getting converted to trans double bonds. H atoms are now on the opposite sides of the double bond. This arrangement makes the kink disappear from the structure hence trans fat is structurally similar to saturated animal fat. It increases the longevity of fats and makes it solid at room temperature but also has many side effects like increasing bad LDL cholesterol in blood.

imagine you were a plant. would you be able to survive without the other plant structures? why or why not?
liq [111]
Yes, a plant would as long as a living creature is in the area to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. It is not totally necessary for other plants to be in the immediate vicinity but is necessary for all living things to live. As mentioned before carbon dioxide and oxygen must be exchanged. (The more the merrier(do not add this)).<span />
