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 cholesterols. Results obtained are shown in the graph given in the table:

The graph indicates that

 

(1) Cholesterol is an essential dietary requirement of Khapra beetle

(2) Growth of Khapra beetle is directly proportional to cholesterol concentration

(3) Cholesterol concentration of 2 ug/g is the optimum level.

(4) Growth of Khapra beetle is inhibited when cholesterol concentration exceeds 5ug/g diet.
