Five similar populations of a herbaceous annual plant are monitored for three years; then, the numbers of individuals in populations I-IV are increased by an experimenter. Subsequent changes in the sizes of all the populations are shown in the graph below.

If size distributions of individuals do not vary among these populations, which of the following relationships best illustrates the occurrence of population regulation?

 Following statements are regarding to the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

A. Many RTKs and cytokine receptors can initiate the IP3/ DAG signaling pathway by activating phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ), a different PLC isoform.

B. Activated RTKs and cytokine receptors also can initiate another phosphoinositide pathway by binding a PI-3 kinase, thereby allowing the enzyme access to its membrane-bound phosphoinositide substrates, which then become phosphorylated at the 3 position.

C. Protein kinase B (PKB) becomes partially activated by binding to PI 3-phosphates with its PH domain.

D. Full activation of PKB requires phosphorylation by the kinase PDK1, which is also recruited to the membrane by binding to PI 3-kinase, and by a second kinase, PDK2.

Photorespiration and the quantum yield differ between C3 and C4 photosynthesis, with changes particularly noticeable as temperatures vary quantum yield for photosynthesis as a function of leaf temperature in C3 plants and C4 plants. Following are some statements  based on this study.

 a.) In the C4 plants the quantum yield remains constant with temperature, reflecting low rates of photorespiration

 b.) At lower temperatures the quantum yield of C3 plants is higher than that of C4 plants

c.) C3 photosynthesis is more efficient at lower temperatures

 d.) At higher temperatures the quantum yield of C3 plants is higher  than that of C4 plants

 Which one of the following combination of above statements is correct?
