Warm-Ups

1. The seal receives 1% and the shark receives 0.1% of the energy.
2. The producer/consumer relationship is the clam eating the phytoplankton. The predator/prey would be the shark eating the seal.
3. The clam is a primary consumer.

1. The squirrels niche is to be a prey. They help disperse seeds.
2. If another organism comes to the same ecosystem with the same niche then natural selection would take place and the weaker organisms.

9/14/12
The deer, rabbit and grasshopper would compete for resources. They eat the same things so they will compete.
9/17/12
Plants compete for nutrients in the ground and sunlight above them. If the plants are really dense like in a jungle or there is a weed then the plants will compete for resources.
9/18/12
The polar bears may have to migrate and adapt or simply go extinct. The polar bears may also adapt to have a new prey or source of energy.
9/19/12
The climate has changed from an overall cold temperature to a warmer temperature. This change has resulted in a long term change that affects the length of the rabbits fur. The rabbits in the future, if the climate stays warm, will also have shorter thinner fur.
9/20/12
This is a short term change. The organisms in the surrounding areas would have to migrate to a new location to survive since this a short term change.
9/25/12
Interspecific is outside a species conflict while Intraspecfic is within an organisms species. Monkeys and other species with the same niche would be an example of Interspecific and monkeys competing for food is intraspecific.
9/26/12
If an organism population becomes to much or increases to fast then the ecosystem will not be able to hold that many organisms. This means that the ecosystem is thrown out of equilibrium.
