Why are there fewer tertiary consumers than secondary consumers?
Why are there fewer top level consumers than lower level consumers
What would happen if there were more secondary consumers than primary consumers?
If there were more secondary consumers than primary consumer, then the primary consumers may not be able to find food to survive and become extinct. With too many secondary consumers as a result of no predators of them, then all of the plants may become extinct as well, causing the whole food chain to die out.
What is a consumer that eats consumers and herbivores?
Consumers that eat producers are called Primary Consumers Consumers that eat Primary Consumers are called Secondary Consumers Consumers that eat Secondary Consumers are called Tertiary Consumers
Is an insect a primary or secondary consumer?
There are many, many species of insects - some are primary consumers, and some are secondary consumers. A primary consumer eats producers (plants), and is also known as a herbivore. An example of an insect that is a herbivore is the cicada. A secondary consumer is also known as a carnivore. It consumes primary consumers (herbivores). An example of a carnivorous insect is the Sand wasp.
How does the number of secondary consumers compare with the number of producers?
There are a lot fewer secondary consumers than there are producers.

Between producer and secondary consumers about how much is lost to heat and waste?
Between producer and secondary consumers very little energy is lost to heat and waste. More energy is lost by keeping the organism alive than is lost to the environment.
What is a consumer in biology?
A consumer is a living organism that cannot synthesize energy from the sun. Therefore, consumers get energy by eating other organisms. There are many levels of consumers that make up the food web. These can include primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and sometimes quaternary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (they can only consume autotrophs). As energy travels from autotrophs to quaternary consumers, much of the energy is used by organisms or (primarily) dissipated as heat. Therefore, there are less quaternary consumers than autotrophs because quaternary consumers cannot get as much energy.
Does a primary seismic wave have a larger shadow zone than a secondary wave?
