1. In what life stage of the insects life cycle is herbivory most active? Why? Will a particular life stage in the cycle of an insect affect your calculation? Why? 2. What will happen to the energy left in the unconsumed leaf part? Do larger animals ever benefit from it? Explain 3. What does the unconsumed leaf part represent for the herbivore?

Your digestive system is very efficient at digesting meat, but is not as efficient at getting all of the available nutrition from plants. Assume that you were raised on plants instead of meat. Plant material has about 40% of the per-kg food value as meat. How much plant energy would it take to get you to 20 years old?
if 10% of the energy from the aquatic plants is transferred to the caddisfly larva, how much of the aquatic plant energy is transferred to the Blugill fish and from what organisms
) Both the caterpillar stage of the yucca moth and the ground sloth ate seeds of the yucca plant. However, when caterpillars eat, they completely digest the seed itself. When sloths ate the seeds, the seeds passed intact through the digestive system. How would you classify each of these interactions for the plant (positive or negative)? What do these interactions tell you about plant and animal interactions involving part of the plant being eaten?
Plant defend themselves against caterpillar herbivory by producing a chemical called precocene which destroy the corpora allat. A) how would this chemical affect the development of insect. B) why would this be an effective defence mechanism for plant. C) would precoene be an effective chemical defence by plant if it was the adult stage insect and not the larva stage that fed on plant?
