What hormonal change occurs after fertilization that causes the endometrial lining to remain intact so that the fertilized egg can successively implant in it?

The answer is the pituitary gland secretes follicle stimulating hormone, which acts on the follicles and stimulates them to produce progesterone.

The endometrial lining is where the fertilized egg implants, or burrows and attaches itself to the uterine wall, where it will continue to grow and be nourished. There are three layers of the uterus: The perimetrium is the outer layer, the myometrium is in the middle, and the endometrium is the inner layer of the uterine wall.

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
