Nerve impulses are transmitted from the end of one axon to the beginning of the next by the release of neurotransmitters. These are chemicals that cause a modest change in the potential across any nearby axon membrane, including that of the signaling nerve. Consider the features of the action potential. The neurotransmitters released by the signaling nerve do not trigger a return action potential that would run back along the same axon from which the signal came. In light of this observation, how much of a change in potential can these neurotransmitters induce, and for how long

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.
