Answer:

Progesterone activates C-Mos, which phosphorylates maturation promotion factor (MPF)

Explanation:

Progesterone is a steroid hormone that is well known to be involved in embryogenesis, which is secreted by the corpus luteum. During meiosis I, steroid production is limited to progesterone. Moreover, the oocyte maturation factor Mos (cMOS) is kinase expressed in germ-line cells when it is activated by progesterone, where this factor controls oocyte maturation and the arrest at the metaphase of meiosis II by modulating the activity of the Maturation-promoting factor (MPF). This protein (MPF) is a cyclin-dependent kinase complex that promotes mitotic entry via phosphorylation of different proteins required during mitosis.

koban [17]
During the first part, during sunlight that is, pyruvatric acid is augmented during proton formation. This is where oxygen is formed at a rate of 150 ppm. During darkness, the carbon is oxidized and allowed to build up, which will ultimately produce more water (which is important for plants and other photosynthesizing organisms) and power the processes that make fructose and sucrose (ie: sugars). Over extended periods of darkness, this build up of sugar is able to keep the plant from deteriorating and can help it go dormant (kind of like hibernating) until conditions improve.
