Answer:

The answer is: a. Climacteric

Explanation:

Climacteric is the time in the midlife of a woman that starts with the diminution in ovarian activity (less production of estrogen and progesterone) until the end of ovarian function. It is the compilation of gradual changes of ovarian function that happen before the menopause (cessation of menses) and continue for a while.

The phases of the climacteric are pre-menopause, menopause and post-menopause. During the pre-menopause, hormonal changes will take place, there is a decrease in estrogen and progesterone production.

B. New compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.

Explanation:

The correct statement from the given choices is that new compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high- energy bonds in the food molecules are broken down.

Cellular respiration is classified as an catabolic process in which an energy rich substance is broken down into a lesser one.

Metabolic processes are usually divided into catabolic and anabolic processes.
In catabolic step, energy is broken down.
Cellular respiration is catabolic whereas photosynthesis is anabolic.
The new compounds formed have lower energy bonds after respiration.
