It depends on the type of animal, but if, for example, you're talking about one lower on the energy pyramid (like a chicken, for example) then this is because of the energy distribution. When an animal consumes something else, it absorbs about 10 percent of the energy of that creature. 

So, lets say a plant has 1000 units of energy. Then a bug comes along, and eats the plant, absorbing 100 units (10 percent) of that energy. Then, a chicken eats the bug, absorbing only 10 units of that energy. Finally, a human eats the chicken, getting only 1 unit of the original energy. 

The reason that something like a bug has to eat less than a human, is because it gets more energy directly from the plant.

What are four thing that cells do to maintain homeostasis?
AlladinOne [14]
<span> cells maintain homeostasis as they are living things. The main way cells maintain homeostasis is through their cell membranes. Cell membranes protect the cell from the outside world, if there is too much of something in the cell, the cell membrane uses pockets to expel some of it, it trasports nutrients across the cell, and it also dictates what goes in and out of the cell. Those are some ways a cell maintains homeostasis. And all living things must maintain homeostasis</span><span>:  <span>Regulate intracellular ion control (e.g. maintain very specific [Ca^2+] levels)
