What's the purpose of the coccus

1 answer:

6 0

The word “coccus” has a couple of different meanings in biology, but it most commonly refers to a type of bacteria that is spherical or slightly oval in shape. In this application, the plural term used to describe entire bacterial chains or infections is cocci, whereas a single coccus bacterium is called a monococcus. There are many different strains and species in this broad family. Some benefit life, either by helping keep cell balance or warding off other infections, while others can be quite harmful. In most cases the shape of the bacteria is useful for classification and evolutionary purposes but doesn’t say much about how it will perform or what it does. The bacteria’s individual coding and composition more commonly dictate these things.

Which hormone causes the regrowth of the endometrial lining of the uterus?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

progesterone

Explanation:

Progesterone, unlike estrogen, has no activity on determining female sexual characteristics. Progesterone activity is to prepare the uterus for possible pregnancy by growing the endometrial lining of the uterus and receiving the fertilized egg and stimulating milk production.

Progesterone is directly responsible for maintaining and sustaining the fetus in the womb, stimulating, during the first two weeks of pregnancy, the fallopian tube and endometrial glands to secrete nutrients essential for the zygote. Uterine contractions are inhibited to prevent the fetus being expelled as it blocks prostaglandin production and decreases oxytocin sensitivity.
