The light energy comes from the sun and is used in photosynthesis in plants. the energy is stored in the plant and the plant gets eaten by a consumer. The consumer only gets 10% of the energy in the plant, as does the next predator only get 10% of what the consumer eats. This is why the next predator always needs to eat more than 1 of the preveous in the food chain. 1 fox -eats- 10 rabits -eats 1000 blades of grass. this way they gat the enery they need.
