How does the energy get from nature to the consumer?
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.
What kind of farm animals does farmers have?
animals produce energy for other animals to use. for example, when a prey animal eats, energy is stored in its tissues. when a predator animal eats the prey animal, the stored energy is "given" to the predator. Animal use this energy for everything, and this is why animals (and humans!) eat. Hope this helps!
Why are there lesser predator than prey?
The energy that is pass on to the predator when the predator eats the prey is only 10% of it's energy as the prey's other energy is used up for itself thus the predator must eat more of it's prey to get the amount of energy it needed.

What is the type of energy that is stored in the form of food during photosynthesis?
when plants use photosynthesis plants use the light energy from the sun (and other ingrediants) and convert it into glucose which in some plants can be stored in fruits that we eat such as vegetables or if a animal eats said plant the animal breaks down the glucose and uses it as chemical energy to use throughout their daily activities or can be stored in things such as fat but to be used later on or can be harvested and eaten and broken down by other animals to be used; however, when this happens the predator dosn't get near as much energy so would have to eat more to get the same amount of energy due to the loss of energy but is still broken down the same way
