Energy flows up a food chain, from the primary producers to the primary consumers, to the secondary consumers, up to the tertiary and then quaternary consumers. Energy flows when one organism eats another lower in the food chain, the energy is transferred by heat and movement, some though is lost. They eat each other but it only gets half the energy stored. A food web is similar - it is just a series of food chains.

Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to form a zygote. Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

1. Insulin resistance and diabetes

2. Metformin

Explanation:

Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).

People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.

The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.

Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.

However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.
