The term "lipid" does not specify a particular chemical structure. Whereas one can write a general formula for an amino acid, nucleic acid, or protein, lipids are much more chemically diverse. Compounds are categorized as lipids based on their greater solubility in organic solvents than in water.
The type of competition that exist between the two species is INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION.
There are basically two types of competition in any given ecosystem, these are intraspecific and interspecific competition. Intraspecific competition occurs among organisms of the same species while interspecific competition occurs among organisms of different species.<span />
B.
Both processes have a growth period called interphase, in which a cell replicates its genetic material and organelles in preparation for division. The two cells that result after meiosis I enter meiosis II very quickly, during the brief interphase period, no further DNA replication takes place.
C.
A. True
Yes they would help predict and explain patterns of change in the size of populations for other large consumers.
<h3>What is Population?</h3>
This is defined as the total number of organisms in an area over a given period of time.
The population of producers and primary consumers help predict that of larger consumers. The higher their population, the lesser the population of large consumers that live in the Serengeti ecosystem.

We are well aware that there are two stages of photosynthesis:
- Light dependent reactions
- Light independent reactions/ Calvin cycle/ dark reactions.
Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions:
This comprise the process during which carbon dioxide enters into the leaves of plants and passes through series of steps to form sugar or food. This process depends on the supply of ATP, (the ATP that is formed previously during light dependent reactions).
Now there are three stages of Calvin cycle:
- 1) carbon fixation
- 2) reduction
- 3) regeneration
During the process of carbon fixation CO2 combines with a 5-carbon compound called RuBP or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate which results in the synthesis of a 6-carbon compound that splits up in to 2 three carbon compounds called phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).
Here out focus will be the process of Reduction.
Reduction is the second stage of Calvin cycle during which phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) is converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) that is a sugar. During the process of reduction, energy in the form of ATP and NADPH are used for the conversion of 3-PGA to G3P. As 3-PGA is reduced to G3P, therefore this process is known as reduction.
After reduction, a series of reactions occur that lead to the synthesis of glucose but since focus of our question was reduction, so you can see more details of the process in attached figure.
Hope it helps!
