Unfortunately Consumers Energy doesn't give any hard numbers as far as how many homes use this service. If I were to guess I would say that it probably is at least in the millions of homes. I did find a phone number for Consumers Energy so that you may check information for your area. Their phone number is 1-800-477-5050.

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.
What are the trophic. Levels?
1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.
Why must an ecosystem have more producers than consumers?
When the producer is eaten by the consumer, it is an exchange of energy. Ironically, 90% of the energy that the producer had is lost, and the consumer only receives 10% of it. Therefore, to get enough energy to survive, the consumer must eat more producers, meaning that, to sustain the consumers, there must me many more producers.
Can you name four trophic levels?
1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.
