Solution

Puberty:

  1. Puberty can be defined as the period from when an individual becomes capable of reproducing
  2. It is known as the onset of sexual maturity.

Sebaceous glands:

  1. The sebaceous glands are exocrine glands that are responsible for the secretion of oil and sebum.
  2. During puberty, the sebaceous glands become highly active and secrete a high level of sebum secretion making the skin oilier.
  3. The accumulation of this sebum and oil results in pimples during puberty.
