First playthrough, Impossible difficulty

I'll try to describe the part I am stuck at: I've already traveled over that flying pad thing that makes you shoot through the air like a rocket (navigating through rocks and stuff). The part I am stuck on is shortly after that. I go down the path, kill two of those super-fast necromorphs, then I reach an area where a tentacle is blocking the path, and about 5 or 6 regular black necromorphs spawn (they crawl out over some fences, one by one).

I assumed the tentacle would stop blocking the path after I killed all the necromorphs, but it doesn't. I will kill them, one by one, until they stop spawning... but nothing happens. The wall of destruction just catches up with me and kills me.

Do I have to kill the tentacle too? I tried shooting it's yellow weak spot but it doesn't seem to do anything.

How do I get past this spot? Thanks!

Do they serve any other purpose besides functioning as in-game currency (i.e. an alternative to real world $ for microtransactions)?

I am strongly against paying real world $ for microtransactions, but I am not opposed to using in-game currency, since unlike real money, I consider that a legitimate game mechanic, and it does not break immersion.

However, if Ration Seals serve some other purpose down the line that I have not discovered yet, I don't want to spend them on microtransactions and then later find out I should have saved them for something else.

I am currently on Chapter 5, FYI. So no spoilers beyond that please. Thank you!

I just leveled my Paladin up to 20 and I can't decide what to do with my last 6 points.

I have Incinerate and Snap Freeze fully leveled, and I have 5 points in both Energy Drain and the N7 Paladin tree (leaving 3 points in the health/melee tree). I have all the tech powers spec'ed to rock tech combos. But I can't decide whether to put the last level up into

a) Energy Drain +40% damage

b) Energy Drain +40% damage reduction for 10 seconds

c) N7 Paladin -20% gun weight

I use a single gun: a level X Revenant, with a stabilizer, which is quite effective on any enemy at any range. That gives me +135% recharge speed, but it still feels a little slow (the cooldown on Snap Freeze especially is quite long). So I'd like to reduce gun weight, but both remaining Energy Drain options also sound appealing.

Thoughts?

P.S. I named my Paladin Solaire, since he's one of my favorite video game Knight characters, and I made him red and yellow... and he ended up looking like Iron Man instead, by accident. He looks awesome though.
