Answer:

A. The whale is heterotrophic.

Explanation:

The whale is an aquatic animal that is heterotrophic in nature. Heterotrophic means that this animal lacks the ability to manufacture its own food because it depends on plants and animals as a source of food energy. Since the Whale is dependent on phytoplankton for food, this means that it is not a producer of food and as such is heterotrophic.

Phytoplankton is a marine alga. Algaes are prokaryotes and this means that they are unicellular animals without a membrane-bound nucleus. The Cell wall is mostly a characteristic of plants. So the first option is a perfect description of the whale and not its food source which is the phytoplankton.

How does the change in the estrogen level corrrespond to the gradual thickening of the uterine lining
vfiekz [6]
<span>The gradual thickening of the uterine lining also called Endometrial Hyperplasia is often caused by having excess estrogen without enough progesterone to balance it. During menstruation, the estrogen causes the lining to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. When the progesterone is made during the second half of the cycle and the progesterone levels drop, the lining is shed. And if the ovulation didn’t occur, progesterone is not made and the lining is not shed properly, the lining will keep on building gradually that may lead to cancer in some women.         </span>
