Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Jimmy was right to say organisms grow because their cells grow.</em>

<u>The growth of organisms can happen in terms of an increase in the number of cells they have (through mitotic cell division) or an increase in the volume of the cells with or without an increase in the number of cells. </u>

A good example is found in plants, most of which undergo an increase in size without any increase in the number of cells in their bodies. The uptake and storage of water in the vacuole produces a pressure that pushes on the cell walls, causing an increase in length, girths, and other growth features of the cells of plants.

What is one possible result of an ovary not performing its intended function in the body?
Nataly [62]
One result is that the ovaries would be unable to produce oocytes (eggs) for fertilization hence the woman would be unable to conceive. Another is that the woman would have an abnormal menstrual cycle due to abnormalities in the production of estrogen and progesterone by the ovary.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,
