Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis refers to a condition that weakens the bone, and enhances the threat of unanticipated and sudden fractures, also known as porous bones. It leads to an enhanced loss of bone mass and strength. The disease often advances without any kind of pain or signs.  

There is a direct association between the reduction of estrogen post menopause and the emergence of osteoporosis. Postmenopause, the breakdown or resorption of bone takes over the formation of novel bone. Estrogen diminishes the function and number of osteoclasts. Thus, the reduction in the levels of estrogen after menopause leads to bone loss.

lana66690 [7]

Correct answer: A). Sunlight and nutrient availability

Sunlight and nutrients are the two important ingredients that are required by the plants in order to carry out the process of photosynthesis.

Green plants also called producers and they are known to fix solar energy and convert it into organic form as chemical energy. It is the green plant that is responsible for the primary productivity of the ecosystem.

Hence, sunlight and nutrients are the correct answer.

Nata [24]

No. Photosynthesis is when a plant converts sunlight into food or glucose. Only producers are able to do this. Consumers have to consume food to have the energy to survive.
