Explanation of Solution

The scientific study of interactions of living things with each other and their relationships with the environment is called as ecology. Organisms live with its boundaries and the abiotic factors with which they interact. The science of ecology can encompass a vast microcosm or area.

The difference between the population, a community, and an ecosystem are given as follows:

CriteriaPopulationCommunityEcosystem
DefinitionA population can be defined as all the members of a group or species that live in a specific area.Community consists of the group of populations of different species living in an area that have potential interactions among themselves.An ecosystem consists of the interaction of living organism with non-living organism; it is a kind of link between them for the exchange of energy and biochemical cycling.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
