Answer:

Keystone species are the species present in a particular ecosystem that plays an important role as it directly influences the diversity of a community. It does not get affected by the abundance or the numbers of the community. Without the keystone species, ecosystems could not be able to exist altogether or change dramatically.

An indicator species is a species whose number or absence or presence reflects or indicates a specific environmental condition. It can help in determining a change in the biological condition of a particular ecosystem.

ATP is required for the light-independent process like in the calving cycle by which carbohydrate production takes place. Therefore disruption in electron transport chain will reduce the production of carbohydrates and cellular respiration will also decrease.

b) The effect will be not good on the individual plant because ATP is important for the cell to grow and remain metabolically active and fit. Therefore this virus will hinder the growth and repairability of plant and would weaken the plant.
