A woman is most fertile when she ovulates. I'll fetch you a pic.

Okay, this is really frustrating my textbook (Mary Jones) and study guide (Dave Hayward) DO NOT cover fertility in women in depth. I'm getting all the menstrual cycle questions/related questions wrong.
Someone please help with M/J 03 Q27 (attached) and why it's not D, because doesn't the egg take a couple days to pass down?
Also about the lining shedding and thickening and stuff, what are the days this happens? I think I asked before, and Vin said that ovulation happens around day 14?

lol the egg doesn't exactly last "a couple of days." It can only survive for about 24 hours after being released. And sperm can survive inside the female for about 2-3 days. So there's hardly a period of 4 days when fertilisation can occur. Thus it must be C (remember fertilisation should be around ovulation). Secondly, the time period for D is too large. Thirdly, the sperm don't really fertilize an ovum in uterus. They do it when the egg is moving down and is in the oviducts. Thus it must be C.

Do you have IGCSE Biology by DG Mackean?? (the book of that study guide?) it covers this aspect in a lot of detail...

Well the first is D...

Please can someone explain.  I thought photosynthesis (plant nutrition) absorbs carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen.  Why respiration?

it is C as that when ovulation (release of an ovum ) occurs thus, the female is most fertile. for D, this is when the lining thicken, in preparation for implantation to occur if fertilisation takes place. if fertilisation does not happen, the thickening uterus wall will break down causing menstruation. hope this helps!^^

without presence of sunlight,(usually at night) plant respire ,releasing co2.

Correction: plants always respire!!!
It involves the same equation as for humans (aerobic respiration = oxygen in, CO2 out)

Respiration uses O2 and gives off CO2, these.

Yeah, exactly, I don't get the second at all, to be quite honest.
Ok, so I think it's B, because well major clue, is that heating is only occurring at A and B, so it has to be either one. When conducting a starch test, you must first boil the leaf in water to kill it (= liquid A is water) and then in alcohol, to dissolve the green chlorophyll so that the black coloring from when you put the iodine doesn't interfere and mix the colors up.
Another huge clue is the presence of the test tube, ethanol is a flammable liquid, so even if you have no idea about the starch test stages, you can just narrow it down to A and B, and guess with B since a test tube is present, so there's a higher chance that would be the answer.
Can anyone confirm this? And answer the second one?
