Answer:

b. Clomid prevents estrogen from exerting negative feedback, so LH and FSH levels remain high and continue to stimulate the ovaries

Explanation:

Clomifene, also known by its commercial name Clomid, is a drug used to stimulate ovulation, and therefore used in fertility treatment. Clomid is a drug that works on estrogen receptors in order to stimulate the secretion of gonadotrophin by the pituitary gland, and by blocking negative feedback of estrogen steroid hormones (estradiol), thereby increasing the concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). A high FSH concentration leads to the growth of ovarian follicles, whose rupture results in ovulation.

How does the atmosphere protect the earth
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The atmosphere protects earth from the suns strong rays and keeps our oxygen on earth for us to breathe. Not to mention the moon would start taking all our water. If we somehow DID survive, we would not last very long, for the earth would over heat and with no plants, animals, or water, we would either die from starvation or from dehydration. If it weren't for the atmosphere our world would be burned to a crisp like Venus!
