Answer:

Progesterone is one of the female sex hormones which performs important function during menstrual cycle, pregnancy and embryo development.

During follicular phase, it helps in the ovulation while during luteal phase it plays an important function of preparing the endometrium lining of the uterus. In addition, it also inhibits or decreases the production of FSH and LH during this phase with the help of negative feedback mechanism.

Progesterone gives negative feedback to hypothalamus and anterior pituitary which decreases or inhibits the secretion of FSH and LH. It is important as it prevents the ovulation of second egg prior to fertilization.

Progesterone's role or action in the feedback mechanism is described as negative feedback. Progesterone (together with estrogen) inhibits the release of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, causing the corpus luteum to deteriorate. It is called negative feedback because the increase of this hormone (progesterone), decreases the release of another.

Why is it necessary to have a constant input of energy into an ecosystem?
IrinaK [193]
If there was not a constant Input of energy into the ecosystem then nothing would have the power to do anything and nothing would be alive. the energy starts with the sun, then goes to plants, then animals that eat the plants, and then the animals that eat those animals, Ect. if this chain reaction did not happen then the plants wouldn't have to power to go through photosynthesis and then we would get no energy. the amount of energy lessen with every chain that it goes through, this is why we get more energy eating plants and why they are healthier.

How can these forelimbs explain how life changes over time?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The correct answer would be divergent evolution showing by homologous organs.

Explanation:

In the illustration human arm, the flipper of the dolphin, wings of bat and forearm of frog are shown. All  these four forelimbs have a different function, however, these forelimbs are having the same underlying anatomy.

The organs having basic structure and origin, but different functions are known as homologous organs. These organs point towards the same ancestor from these organisms evolved. They show a case of divergent evolution.

When related species become less similar in order to adapt and survive in different conditions, evolution is called divergent evolution.

Thus, these forelimbs provide evidence for divergent evolution.
