Question

Why does rapid growth occur during adolescence starting from ages 10–11?

विकल्प

• Due to increased food consumption and dietary changes

• Due to increased hormone levels during this developmental period

• Due to increased physical exercise and sports activities

• Due to environmental factors and climate changes

Answer 1

Rapid growth during adolescence, beginning around ages 10–11, is directly caused by increased hormone levels in the body. Hormones such as testosterone in boys and oestrogen in girls trigger the physiological changes characteristic of puberty. These hormones stimulate growth in bones, muscles, and other tissues, resulting in the dramatic physical transformations observed during this stage.
