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
A
cholesterol is an essential dietary requirement of khapra beetle
B
growth of khapra beetle is directly proportional to cholesterol concentration
C
cholesterol concentration of $2\,μg/g$ diet is the optimum level
D
growth of khapra beetle is inhibited when cholesterol concentration exceeds $5\,μg/g$ diet
(AIIMS-2005) (AIIMS-2008)
Solution
According to graph, growth of Khapra beetle is directly proportional to cholesterol concentration
