The answer is to decrease the secretion of substances from the pituitary gland that cause growth. 

Gigantism is condition characterized by excessive growth. It is the consequence of over-production of growth hormone (somatotropin) in the pituitary gland. So, the effect of the drug used on patients diagnosed with gigantism must be to decrease the secretion of growth hormone in the pituitary gland. That way, there will be less of growth hormone, and the excessive growth can be stopped.

Most nonrenewable energy resources are burned for us to use their energy. Which of the following is a nonrenewable energy source
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A) nuclear.

Explanation:

Most of the non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels that are formed by the thermal decomposition of dead organic matter for million years and are converted to lighter hydrocarbons that contain high electrostatic potential energy.

Burning is the process that breaks the hydrocarbons into water vapor and CO2 with high amount of energy. Coal, natural gas and biofuels all three are fossil fuels and nuclear products are not fossil fuel but radioactive elements.
