The flow of energy moves through living organisms via the food chain. A food chain is a diagram which shows how every living thing gets energy to live. Plants use the sun, nutrients in the soil and water to generate energy. Herbivores eat the plants to generate energy to survive. Carnivores eat the herbivores to generate energy.
<span>Matter moves through the biosphere by being cycled through various organic and inorganic stages. They are neither created nor destroyed. The biosphere is known as a closed system so no elements can escape. They are continually being recycled. </span>

The correct answer would be -

FSH - used as fertility drugs to makes egg mature.

LS - stimulates the release of eggs.

Oestrogen - causes the lining of the womb to break down.

FSH is a hormone released from the pituitary gland and is the abbreviation of Follicle-stimulating hormone which controls the menstrual cycle and growth of eggs in ovaries. It is also used as a fertility drug that promotes the growth of eggs to mature it.

LS or Luteinising hormone is the hormone that is released from the pituitary gland and promotes the surge of the release of eggs.

Oestrogen is the hormone that helps females during puberty during the menstrual cycle to breakdown the lining of the womb.
