Answer:

The correct answer is a. suppression of LH release from the pituitary.

Explanation:

Anabolic steroids are synthetic steroids made up of mainly androgenic hormone like testosterone. These anabolic steroids are usually taken by young male bodybuilders because it helps in gaining muscles.

These anabolic steroids have many side effects and infertility in males is one of its side effects. Excessive use of these steroids stops the secretion of gonadotropic hormones such as LH in males from pituitary glands by inducing negative feedback to the pituitary.

LH is important in the production of testosterone from Leydig cells and testosterone is important for sperm production. Therefore if LH is stopped no sperm production will occur and it leads to infertility in males.

Ok, a few things here:

This is an egg drop experiment, so I'm assuming you are testing out different ways of protecting the egg.

The independent variable is what you want to change: This would be the type of protection you have on the egg

The dependent variable is what would be effected by the changes in the independent variable: which would be something like the integrity of the egg after it hits the ground. You'd have to measure that somehow.

There are two types of controlled variables: <em>Internal and External.</em>

Internal variables are within the scope of the experiment and can be controlled, whereas external variables are outside the scope of the experiment and we have no control over them.

Internal:

- Height of the drop

- Type of egg

- Person dropping

- How the egg is dropped

- Surface being dropped on to

External:

- The person designated to drop the egg is sick

- You run out of eggs to drop

- Somebody loses all the planning for the experiment

- The weather forces you to do the experiment inside versus outside

- The wind blows your egg off course, leading to it hitting the ground at an angle

So, the way your teacher "chucks" the eggs off the roof should be a controlled internal variable. The action should be done as consistently as possible to avoid an uncontrolled variable.

Answer:

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species (the parasite) benefits while the other species (the host) is harmed.
