They consume the plants (producers) and obtain the most amount of nutrients and energy and then get eaten by the secondary consumers who obtain a little less energy since it is being passed down a line. Cows would be a primary who consumers grass that obtained energy and nutrients through photosynthesis and then we eat the cow (secondary) and gain what was left from the grass after the cow ate it and spent energy
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
Every time a consumer eats a producer or another consumer it gets 10% energy of it.
PRODUCERS: Producers obtain their food through a process called photosynthesis. The producer use sunlight, H20, CO2 and nutrients in the soil to create food (sugars and starches) and O2. CONSUMERS: Consumers obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
by eating food
Living things get energy from food . Producers make their own food , with the aid of Sunlight . Consumers depend on the producers for their food . Secondary Consumers depend on the primary consumers for their food . Decomposers depend on the dead bodies of consumers and producers for food . So simply , Energy flows from Sunlight to plants to consumers to secondary consumers to Decomposers . That's how living things obtain their energy .
THey obtain energy by eating consumers and producers.
Consumers
Consumers mainly obtain energy from the food that they eat. This means that their source of energy will be from the producers.
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
