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(:
That statement is talking about a food chain and the amount of available energy: The most energy is available at the producer level. A producer is a plant that gets energy from the sun. The producer is able to make lots of energy by photosynthesis. Then the producer gets eaten by a first-level consumer. This is typically an herbivore (something that eats only plants) but could also be an omnivore (something that eats both plants and meat). Either way, when the first-level consumer eats the producer, it uses most of the energy for its life processes. Life processes are things like growing, having energy to go find more food, reproducing, and caring for young. Surplus energy is stored in the form of fat. This first-level producer gets eaten by a second-level consumer. This might be a carnivore (something that eats only meat) or another omnivore. The second-level consumer can only get the stored energy from its food. This means that there is less energy available to it than there was to the first-level consumer. This chain continues, with less and less energy being available at each step. Because of this fact, there needs to be many producers and low level consumers to support the higher level consumers.
There is more energy stored at the producer level. This is because producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis and convert it into chemical energy, which then gets passed on to consumers when they eat the producers. As energy is transferred up the food chain, some is lost as heat, so the amount of energy available decreases at higher trophic levels.
A pyramid of energy represents the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. It demonstrates the decrease in available energy as it moves up the food chain due to energy loss through metabolism and heat transfer. The pyramid shape indicates that each higher trophic level has less energy available than the one below it.

The biomass of a tertiary consumer would be smaller than the biomass of a primary consumer. This is because energy is lost as it moves up the food chain through each trophic level. Tertiary consumers have less available energy and biomass compared to primary consumers.

a consumer gets its food by eating food not producing it.
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 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.
no its a first consumer
A consumer is the one who eats others consumer.
