a consumer gets its food by eating food not producing it.
What the second lever consumer eats the first lever consumer, it gets only a little bit of its energy. Say that the first lever consumer has 100 percent of energy, the second lever consumer will come along and eat it then only get 10% of the first level consumer. I don't know if that made any since, but I hope it did(:
90% init
In an ecosystem, energy flows from producers to consumers in a hierarchical manner. If producers provide 1500 calories to the first-level consumer (herbivores), a portion of that energy is transferred to the second-level consumer (carnivores) after accounting for energy loss due to metabolic processes, typically around 10%. Consequently, if the second-level consumer receives approximately 150 calories, the third-level consumer would receive about 15 calories, further illustrating the diminishing energy available at each trophic level.
A white tiger is considered a second-level consumer. As a carnivore, it preys on first-level consumers, such as herbivores, to obtain energy.
A sparrow obtains energy from the first-level consumer (such as insects or seeds) by consuming and digesting it. The energy stored in the food is broken down during digestion, releasing energy that the sparrow utilizes for various physiological functions like movement, growth, and reproduction.
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.

Both animals are primary consumers - first level.
producer consumer secondary consumer
no its a top level consumer :)
The producer level.
Not as much as the producer has because they use some of the energy they have used some energy for things like growth and repair and create more energy by using photosynthesis.
