The graph below shows the radioactive decay of an isotope of uranium. Bar graph showing time in millions of years on x axis and number of uranium atoms present on y axis. Height of bar corresponding to time 0 million years is 100; time 4500 million years is 50; time 9000 million years is 25; time 13,500 million years is 12.5; and time 18,000 million years is 6.25.

Based on the graph, what is the half-life of uranium?

50 years
100 years
4,500 years
9,000 years

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.
