Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

In any food web, the inorganic carbon from the atmosphere is incorporated into the organic matter by the process of photosynthesis.

Autotrophs perform photosynthesis and fix carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the glucose or organic matter with the help of chlorophyll and in the presence of sunlight.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

The regulation of cholesterol is done by regulating the rate which determines step catalyzed by HGM -CoA reductase.
There is long-term and short-term regulation where HGM-CoA is inhibited by phosphorylation and catalyzed of proteins. There is regulated proteolysis of HGM-CoA reductase where degradation of HMG-CoA reductase by oxidized derivatives of cholesterol.

Why do Primary succession happen
Alja [10]

Answer:
