Answer:

The zygote simply is the fertilized ovum or egg cell or female reproductive cell. It is the result of the process of fertilization of the fusion of the male reproductive cell (gamete) and the female reproductive cell ( gamete). In human, the zygote is the resulted cell of fertilization of the sperm and the ovum. It is diploid or 2N which means it contains two sets of chromosomes; one set from the male and the other from the female.

The gamete is the reproductive cell. There are two types of gametes; male gamete and female gamete. In human, the male gamete is called the sperm and the female gamete is called the ovum. The gamete is the last stage of the reproductive cells to be completely formed.

Fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete to form the zygote. Fertilization may be external as in fish or internal as in human.

Explanation:

D. E: photosynthesis; D: cellular respiration

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent.

In the light reactions, occuring within the thykaloid, and stroma of the chloroplasts, water supplies the pigment chlorophyll with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the dark reactions, or Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate (through the process of glycoysis). The electron transport chain, in which oxygen functions as the terminal electron acceptor, occurs in both plants and animals. Respiration includes:

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.
The Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Why does the level of fsh decrease and remain at a relatively low level during days 15-28 of the cycle?

Rudiy27

The FSH will decrease and remain at a low level during the 15-28 days of the cycle because at this stage, the egg is waiting to be fertilized. The FSH needs to be low to prepare the uterus lining in case the egg will be fertilized.
