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.
