Cholesterol is an essential dietary requirement of Khapra beetle

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The graph indicates that cholesterol is an essential dietary requirement for the Khapra beetle because the weight of the insect larva increases with the increase in the amount of cholesterol.The weight becomes static (plateaus) at approximately $6 \; \mu g$ cholesterol/g basal diet,indicating that after a certain point,additional cholesterol does not further increase growth.If the growth rate were directly proportional to the cholesterol concentration,the graph would have been a straight line,which is not the case here.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(1)$ Stearic acid	$(a)$ $CH_3-(CH_2)_2COO^-$
$(2)$ Butyric acid	$(b)$ $CH_3-(CH_2)_{16}COO^-$
$(3)$ Palmitic acid	$(c)$ $R-COOH$
$(4)$ Fatty acid	$(d)$ $CH_3(CH_2)_{14}COO^-$

In an experiment,freshly hatched larvae of an insect (Khapra beetle) were reared on a basal diet (complete diet without cholesterol) with increasing amounts of cholesterol. Results obtained are shown in the given graph.
The graph indicates:
