Answer:
Estrogen
Explanation:
During puberty, a number of changes occur in the body. The hormone responsible for the development of these characteristics in females is Estrogen. Estrogen causes the female's body to mature and prepare it for pregnancy.
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.
The best answer is C - to break down food into nutrients.
The digestive system breaks down food into its simplest form that cell are able to utilize for energy. Food is broken down into its monomer units. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.
Glucose is then absorbed into the blood and transported to every cell in the body. The cells take in glucose and use it as fuel and raw material in the process of cellular respiration. From one molecule of glucose, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP ( the form of energy used by cells) are produced.
