The main structural difference between LDL and HDL is their compositions. Approximately 50% of the weight of an LDL particle is cholesterol and only 25% is protein. High-density lipoprotein particles, on the other hand, consist of 20% percent cholesterol by weight and 50% protein.

fomenos

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

As GPP stands for the gross primary productivity, it's the total amount of energy produced in the process and the NPP is the net primary productivity. NPP is the difference between the GPP and the energy used by the producer for the process of respiration.

GPP is a continuous and ongoing process that consumes the energy as compared to the NPP that store energy and not being used. Thus, GPP can affect NPP but NPP does not affect GPP.

For example, GPP is completely being dependent on the chlorophyll content of the plant, but NPP is independent of that content of chlorophyll.

DerKrebs [107]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B is correct.

B. aerobic autotroph

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis).

So, if a particular single-celled organism uses radiant energy to fix carbon as sugars and generates ATP by breaking down sugars through a process that uses oxygen, then it will be an aerobic autotroph.
