Answer:Cellular respiration is the process of transforming chemical energy into forms usable by the cell or organism. Organisms ingest organic molecules like the carbohydrate glucose to obtain the energy needed for cellular functions. The energy in glucose can be extracted in a series of chemical reactions known as cellular respiration. Most energy is produced during cellular respiration in the mitochondria, a process that involves breakdown of simple sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP, which is the usable form by the cell.
Explanation:
Unfortunately this question is incomplete as it is a multiple choice question. The following options are provided:
<span>A) body cavity between body wall and digestive system
B) number of embryonic tissue layers
C) type of body symmetry
D) presence of Hox genes
E) degree of cephalization
The answer is D: presence of Hox genes

Hox genes are a group of genes that determine the basic structure and orientation of animals.
The statistical study of all populations is called demography
The answer is <u>B: a mutation inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus from entering the host cell</u>
Answer:
The endometrial lining is shed during menstruation and is then regenerated by the hormone estrogen.
Explanation:
The menstrual cycle can be described in terms of:
1. <u>OVARIAN cycle</u>: divided into
-Follicular phase of variable length lasting between 7 and 21 days.
-Ovulation
-Luteal phase which is fairly constant and lasts between 12 and 16 days.
The most common cycle length is 28 days and this occurs in 15% of women in their reproductive age
.
The duration of flow is between 2-6 days.
2. <u>ENDOMETRIAL cycle</u>: divided into
-Proliferative phase where there is increase in growth of the functional layer and the endometrial glands under the influence of oestrogen.
-Secretory phase where endometrial changes are influenced by progesterone activity.
The endometrium is made up of the basal layer and the functional layer.
The basal layer remains intact throughout the cycle while the functional layer is shed during each menstruation.
