Answer:

The total amount of organic matter from plants and animals in a habitat.

Explanation:

Biomass can be defined in ecological terms and in industrial (environmental science) terms. Ecologically, it is defined by the total mass of organisms (not organic matter) given a specific area or ecosystem. This definition is not in the choices therefore the industrial term for environmental science should be appropriate. In environmental science, biomass is the organic matter from living organisms whether wastes or dead animals or plants that can be used as fuel in powering power plants to produce electricity (mainly). Therefore from that definition, the correct answer is: All materials that form from the remains of living organisms.

Are Fungi beneficial or harmful? Explain

Nata [24]

Answer:

Honestly it depends...

Explanation:

I would say overall fungi are beneficial because they feed on dead organic matter. They recycle most of the carbon and release nutrients to be used by other organisms. They are also used for medicinal purposes. Not to mention yeast is a fungus and bread is yummy.

But certain fungi are deadly if ingested or linked to plant and human diseases. Also mold is a fungus and nobody likes mold.

Estrogens from the vesicular follicle trigger an LH surge from the anterior pituitary. This is an example of: Estrogens from the

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is: positive feedback.

Explanation:

Positive and negative feedback are terms that are used to define the way a system is regulated by its products. For example, when the production of a certain substance inhibits its producer that is called negative feedback. On the other hand, when a substance stimulates its producer to keep secreting said substance, this is called positive feedback.

Estrogen is a hormone of great importance in the female reproductive cycle and is secreted by the follicle cells in response to the presence of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), released by the anterior pituitary when stimulated by the GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone).

Estrogen appears at the beginning of the cycle to stimulate the development of the ovarian follicles, and the hormone levels continue to rise as the cycle advances. Up until the 14th day of the cycle, estrogen has a negative feedback on GnRH and FSH, but then it makes an abrupt change to now exert positive feedback on GnRH to stimulate the release of LH (luteinizing hormone), which will be responsible for ovulation.
