Answer:
The sporophyte body comprises a long stalk, called a seta, and a capsule capped by a cap called the operculum. The capsule and operculum are in turn sheathed by a haploid calyptra which is the remains of the archegonial venter. The calyptra usually falls off when the capsule is mature.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. In the human eye, the greatest amount of refraction occurs when the light passes from the air into the cornea.
Explanation:
The ocular refraction refers to the refraction that occurs in the light coming from the objects when crossing the different parts of the eye, causing the images to concentrate on the retina.
When the light rays, after crossing the cornea and the lens, are projected on the retina at a single point creating a clear image that is transmitted to the brain for processing, we talk about normal refraction.

Women have a tendency to retain water during part of the menstrual cycle because estrogen mimics the action of <u>aldosterone</u>.
Explanation:
The female sex hormones produced by the ovary (estrogens and progesterone) are substances that, through the blood, will carry messages to all the organs of the female genital system (uterus, tubes and ovaries) to achieve their correct function. Aldosterone concentration normally increases at the time of ovulation and remains elevated during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Women present during the premenstrual phase, compared to the luteal and follicular phases, an increase in body weight, due to an increase in fluid retention, this because the menstrual cycle modulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. High levels of estrogen and progesterone in the mid-luteal phase are associated with a greater increase in adrenal and renal hormones and retention of more volume.
