Answer:

Both her son and daughter will be shorter than their classmates.

Humans exhibit exclusive growth and reproductive phages in the life cycle. Before the onset of puberty, growth hormone is released from anterior pituitary which in turn is responsible for is responsible for growth such as an increase in height of children.

Growth hormone directly targets the metabolism and increase the rate of metabolism.

How do changes in nutrient levels affect the structure of aquatic food webs?
vodka [1.7K]

ANSWER:

The effects of increasing or decreasing the nutrient levels in an aquatic food webs is described in the explanation.

Explanation:

If the nutrient levels in an aquatic food web increase moderately then it will result in increased production of the primary producers and the consumers.

But if the nutrient levels are increased excessively, like in eutrophication, then the increased level of nutrients will result in overproduction of the consumers like fishes, etc. Hence, there will be a scarcity of resources like oxygen in the water to support them and this will lead to a decline in biodiversity of the aquatic food web.

If the nutrient levels are decreased, then there will be competition for resources among the species which will ultimately lead to the decline of some species from the aquatic food web.
