1.The seal gets 1% of the energy because 10% of 10 is 1. The shark receives 0.1% because 10% of 1 is 0.1.
2.The phytoplankton are the producer, which gets its energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide. The scallops are the consumers since they consume the plants for energy. The seals are the predators since they hunt the scallops, the prey. The shark gets 10% of the seal's energy.
3.The primary consumers are the scallops because they are the ones which eat the producer first in the energy pyramid.

1. The deer, rabbit, and the grasshopper would compete for resources because they are all secondary consumers, and they all eat somewhat similar resources. The deer and the rabbit both eat broadleaf weeds so that would be an example of competition.
9/17/12
1. Plants compete for sunlight and nutrients. The plants evolve by growing their roots longer to gather nutrients. They also compete for sunlight in the rain forest
2. Plants would compete when they aren't getting enough nutrients (when there are a limited number of resources). This would force them to adapt.
9/18/12
1. The polar bears will be forced to adapt or die out. The icecaps are their shelter and they also help them hunt.
9/19/12
1. The environment changed because it got warmer.
2. This is a long term change because it happened over decades.
3. Due to natural selection, the shorter furred rabbits would survive and the long haired would die out or migrate.
9/20/12
This is a long time environmental change because it forms land or islands after a period of time
They would have to find a way to get used to the changing environment
9/25/12
Intraspecific competition happens when organisms from the same species compete for resources. Interspecific competition occurs when organisms from different species compete for resources. An example of intraspecific competition is when two sunflowers compete for sunlight. An example of interspecific competition is when a sunflower and bluebonnets compete for the same resources. It would happen when there are limited resources and they have the same niche.
9/26/12
1. This forces competition because they must fight over the resources. It invites more predators into the area.
2. Their beak sizes changed over time to gather their food.
