I found a presentation of Food web of a pond that will greatly connect with the above problem. http://www.eduweb.com/portfolio/earthsystems/food/foodweb4.html
Normal setting:
Species Pop. size
Blue heron Medium
Perch Medium
Bass Medium
Minnows Medium
Inverts Medium
Algae Medium
If PERCH population size decreases,
Species Pop. sizeBlue heron LowPerch LowBass MediumMinnows HighInverts HighAlgae Low
As you can see, 4 other species are affected when the Perch population size decreased. Bass is not affected.
Answer:
You are not using properly the function exponential in your calculator
Explanation:
When a number is too big or too small we use scientific notation. This is a number between 1 a 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
When you are writing 4.5*10^-9 you are actually writing 0.0000000045 in scientific notation.
When you enter this in the calculator you have to use the function EXP after the first two numbers.
Steps: 1) Enter 4.5
2) Enter EXP
3) Enter minus (-)
4) Enter 9
