Answer:

Red blood cells will shrink because it is a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The sodium chloride concentration is higher: 1.5% > 0.9%, so it is a hypertonic solution. If the cells are immersed in a hypertonic medium - which is, a medium with a sodium chloride concentration higher than the concentration inside the cells - the water cells will move out from the cell. In consequence, the cells will lose water and they will shrink.

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.

PLEASE HELP <br> Which word describes the speed at which the "global<br> conveyor belt" moves?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The conveyor belt moves at much slower speeds (a few centimeters per second) than wind-driven or tidal currents (tens to hundreds of centimeters per second). It is estimated that any given cubic meter of water takes about 1,000 years to complete the journey along the global conveyor belt
