The graph shows the changing levels of hormones during menstruation and ovulation. What is the general trend for hormones after
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Hormone levels generally decrease.

Explanation:

<em>The graph showed that hormone levels after ovulation generally decrease.</em>

The menstrual cycle of women generally have 3 phases which include:

  1. <em>The follicular phase</em>
  2. <em>The ovulatory phase</em>
  3. <em>The luteal phase</em>

The follicular phase is characterized by low levels of oestrogen and progesterone and a slightly high level of follicle stimulating hormone which ensures that follicles within the ovary develop.

The ovulatory phase is characterized by a surge in the luitenizing hormone (which stimulates the release of eggs) and follicle stimulating hormone with a decrease in the level of oestrogen and a gradual increase in the level of progesterone.

The luteal phase is characterized by a general decrease in the levels of luitenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone while oestrogen level may remain high.

4. Living things are sometimes called "carbon-based life forms." Do you think this is a good way to describe life? Explain your
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, for a couple of reasons.

1. Carbon connects easily with other carbons.

2. Carbon forms chemical that can change and connect with other carbons even in biology or especially in Biology. If you take a brown seen and plant it where it can get water and soil nutrients, to will come up as a green plant. Think about the chemistry that goes into that. Not only that, but there are mechanisms that tell the upper part of the plant that the roots can't supply any more growth. Isn't that something? All made from Carbon.

3. The human body is a mass of Carbon based chemicals and all cells there can have different functions. Amazing isn't it? I'm a fan of the diversity of our planet and its growth.
