Answer:

The correct answer will be epidermis.

Explanation:

The cuticle is a hydrophobic layer present on the epidermis of the organisms-plants and animal.  

This cuticle is secreted by the cells of epidermis like in invertebrates, arthropods with chitin and humans have skin. In higher plants, this forms a hydrophobic layer which covers the epidermal cells of leaves which helps in reducing water loss.

Thus, the epidermis is the correct answer.

This diagram shows the menstrual cycle.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

According to the hormone diagram of the menstrual cycle, the woman is not pregnant due to the behavior of progesterone and estrogens, whose levels do not increase, in addition to the absence of human chorionic gonadotropin.

Explanation:

The graph shows the behavior of hormones during a woman's menstrual cycle in the absence of pregnancy.

During a woman's normal cycle, estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) tend to increase prior to ovulation, reach their peak values at ovulation, and then decline, as shown in the graph. Progesterone, on the other hand, increases after ovulation and decreases if the woman does not become pregnant.

In the case of a pregnant woman:

  • <u>Estrogens</u> continue to increase after ovulation, produced by the ovaries and placenta.
  • <u>Progesterone</u> also increases its levels, as it is a hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta.
  • <u>Hormone human chorionic gonadotropin</u> (HCG) appears and increases during pregnancy, due to the secretory activity of the placenta.

<em><u>The diagram represents the normal cycle of a woman who is not pregnant</u></em>.

What is the purpose of a dichotomous key of the sort you might find in a field guide?
Serjik [45]

Good morning!! The purpose of both a dichotomous key and a field guide's purpose is to identify organisms. The only difference between the two is the a dichotomous key just uses descriptions to identify the animal with no pictures, but a field guide uses pictures to identify the organism. Another thing that separates the two is that the dichotomous key gives questions/descriptions that describe the organism, whereas the field guide uses a brief description of the animal. Hope I helped!!

The amount of available energy changes between the trophic levels found in a food chain or energy pyramid. Photos (left to right
Aliun [14]

Answer;

A. leaf to mouse

Explanation;

-Considering the fact that the amount of energy at each trophic level reduces as it moves through an ecosystem from the lowest trophic level which happens to be producers (plants).  And about 10 percent of this  energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level since the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

-It means that the lower the trophic level the higher the energy obtained, for instance from producers to primary consumers, more energy is passed since it is the first passage of energy.
