Analyze someone tells you they've heard of a powder that , if worn in a pouch around the neck , will cure a cold. This person claims that the powder has cured everyone with a cold who has worn it. How do you explain to this person that, despite the positive results, this is a pseudoscientific claim?

answer; heredity;

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.
