(note: some textbooks state that up to 36 atp molecules are produced in this phase of cellular respiration. in reality, some energy is lost in the process due to the cost of transporting molecules and imperfect membranes.)

extend your thinking: when you think of the word “respiration,” you might think about the process of breathing, which is actually called ventilation. (the respiratory system consists of the windpipe, lungs, etc.)
how is breathing related to cellular respiration? (hint: think about both the inputs and the outputs of cellular respiration.)

japan is the correct anwser because i already took the test and i passed it

answer;

a. sheep consumption efficiency would be reduced.

explanation;

-trophic efficiency is a measure of how much energy occurs at one level divided by the energy at the level immediately below it . trophic efficiency incorporates three types of efficiency:

-the proportion of available energy that is consumed (consumption efficiency).   it is the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by consumers.

-the proportion of ingested food that is assimilated (assimilation efficiency).

-the proportion of assimilated food that goes into new consumer biomass (production efficiency).

-in this case, the grasshoppers would affect sheep by reducing the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by the sheep.
