1. the seal receives 1% of energy and the shark receives 0.1% of energy.
2. The clams (consumer) eats the algea (producer). Also, The shark (predator) eats the seal (consumer).
3. The clams are the primary consumers.

The deer and the rabbit would compete because they have a lot of food that they eat in common.
9/17/12
1. Plants compete for space and water.
2. Plants would compete for water when threre is a drought and they would compete for space when there is an invasive species that is taking up all of the land.

Since the icecaps are breaking, there might not be anymore breathing holes for seals, this means that polar bears can't trap them for food. They will fall throught the ice and fall into the freezing water. It would also be harder to catch fish for food.
9/19/12
1. The weather got warmer from cold.
2. This is a long term change.
3. The future generations would start getting shorter fur sine the climate's getting warmer.

Interspecific is when organisms of different species compete over the same resources and intraspecific is competition within the same species for the same resources. Intrerspecific is like the squirrel lab that we did, when the different squirrels (Red and Grey) competed. The intraspecific would be like a grey squirrel competeing with a grey squirrel.
9/26/12
1. They will start taking up too much space and will be competeing for the same resources (intrapersonal- mostly, but also interpersonal) if they start over-populating.
2. The finches would change physically. Natural selection would kick in.
