Answer:B convulsions due to constant muscle stimulation

Explanation:

            this is due to  Hyperpolarization at the  axonal cell membrane from continuous influx of sodium ions .

Normally acetylcholine is an exictatory  neurotranmitter, if an inhibitor is applied to block effects of acetylcholinesterase; the action potential will continue to generate , leading to continuous excitation, ( rapid contraction of muscles from increasing action potential, leading to convulsion.

So far  nothing to stop the excitatory neurotransmitter. (acetylcholine stimulation at the receptors of neuromuscular junction of post synaptic neuron.

The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best
melamori03 [73]
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best described as energy moving in one direction from the sun to the producers then to the consumers. 

Explanation; 
Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through successive trophic levels of a food chain in an ecosystem. Ecosystem maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients.
The energy from sunlight is taken up by producers which use it to produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. The energy is then passed successively to the trophic levels, that is from the producers to the consumers ( primary, secondary, tertiary and quotienary consumers). During this transfer some energy is lost at each trophic level in form of heat.
