Why does a tertiary have to eat so much to stay alive

Because there are losses in energy between levels, the population between levels also diminishes. With less energy, there are less creatures that can be supported by it, so the level with the least amount of creatures would be the tertiary consumers, while the level with the most organisms would the producers.

I hope that this helps ;)

liquid crystals are matters in a state which have properties between those of conventional liquids and those of solid crystals[1]. liquid crystal is partially ordered and anisotropic. in terms of molecular order, liquid crystal molecules have one-dimensional or two-dimensional long - range order.

it's unlikely a majority of a large population would agree on issues

hope this : )
