Where does an ecosysytem get energy?
Initially, energy from the sun is used by producers, which are photosynthetic, to make food. Primary consumers eat the photosynthetic organisms. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and so on. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food pyramid. The amount of energy decreases with each level of the food pyramid as energy is lost as heat. This is why animals at the top of the pyramid, the tertiary consumers, must consume more animals to receive a sufficient amount of energy for survival.
Why are there more primary consumers than tertiary consumers?
Because the total energy associated with the primary consumers isn't stored in their bodies, so can't all be passed on to the secondary ones. The rest is used for their life processes, such as movement.

The pathway of energy transfer through various stages?
The transfer of energy is when a producer(s) makes glucose, and a primary consumer consumes it. The secondary consumer then eats the primary consumer. Finally the tertiary consumes the secondary consumer. Tertiary consumers are usually omnivores. Secondary consumers are carnivores. Primary consumers are herbivores. Also they go down in tens. Like lets say, the producer make 10,000 cal. Then the primary consumers consumes 10% of that organism. The other 90% is used for the organism to survive. Primary consumers eat 1,000 cal. Then they are then eaten by secondary consumers. The primary consumer does not use all of the glucose. Secondary consumers eat 100 cal. Then finally the tertiary consumer eats 10 cal. If you noticed the primary consumers have more energy inside of them. Also their numbers in population are greater to balance this giant pyramid. There is also the food web. Which is a bunch of food webs intersecting.
