Help asap please! INITIAL PHENOMENA QUESTION:
HOW IS IT THAT EVERY LIVING ORGANISM HAS SPECIALIZED CELLS THAT CONTAIN GENETIC MATERIAL – MADE UP OF ONLY 4 DIFFERENT BASES-YET EVERY ORGANISM IS VERY DIFFERENT?

sorry to break it to ya but no one can answer your question it's just

jk but i am serious about the part that most people cant answer it beacuse you did not mention the section you are talking about. but it would if you added some detail and were a bit more specific.

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.
