Scientists are analyzing the movement patterns of slime mold, which grows outward to search for its food sources by retracting from everything but the most efficient route, in an effort to better understand how to optimize traffic patterns.
(a) grows outward to search for its food sources by retracting
(b) grows outward to search for its food sources, and the slime mold retracts
(c) grows outward, searching for its food sources and retracting
(d) searches for its food sources by growing outward and retracts
(e) searches for its food sources and grows outward, retracting

Searches for its food sources by growing outward and retracts.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
