Explanation / Answer

1) By definition, individuals of a population are of same species, hence (C)

2) Light energy is the main source but some bacteria can use chemical energy to make food hence answer is both (a) AND (d)

3) Only prokaryotes lack a nucleus, that includes Bacteria and Archeae hence answer is (b)

4) (e) is correct as these are present in biomolecules in large quantities,
