0.1% ...because each level only gets 10% of the energy of the previous level (due to the second law of thermodynamics). Primary producer (100), primary consumer (10), secondary consumer (1), tertiary consumer (.1). This is also part of the reason food chains are limited to 3-5 trophic levels.
The answer is coati for apex of course before people start asking.

Trophic levels have to do with food and the hierarchy of energy transimssion in food chains. For instance, in a model food chain there is a Producer, which would always be an autotroph, meaning they produce their own food. Plants, some kinds of bacteria, algae etc. Next come Consumers, that are heterotrophs, meaning they don't make their own food and so much acquire their energy by ingesting another lifeform. Primary Consumers would be the next trophic level after Producers, they're the herbivores that eat consumers. For instance, a cow (Primary Consumer) that eats grass (Producer). Secondary Consumers eat Primary Consumers. They're mostly carnivores or omnivores. For instance, humans (Secondary Consumer) eat a cow (Primary) that ate grass (Producer). The three trophic levels of that food chain schematic would be Producer -> Primary Consumer -> Secondary Consumer It can go on, some food chains have Tertiary and even Quartenary Consumers.
no.. thats false.. its actually the opposite

i think it would be producer, then primary consumer, then secondary consumer, then tertiary consumer.
The trophic level a chicken is at is the secondary consumer level. Since they are omnivores, they eat other animals and plants but also get eaten themselves by other predators.
The producer level.

Generally, about 10% of the energy produced by a producer (like plants) is transferred to a primary consumer (like herbivores) in an ecosystem. This is part of the "10% rule" in ecology, which indicates that energy decreases significantly at each trophic level due to factors like metabolic processes and heat loss. As a result, only a fraction of the energy is available to support higher trophic levels.
part of a food chain with multiple trophic levels. The snake is a tertiary consumer, the frog is a secondary consumer, the insect is a primary consumer, and the plant is a producer. This exemplifies the transfer of energy through different organisms in an ecosystem.
Trophic, or Energy Levels. (i.e. Producer feeds Consumer, Consumer Feeds First Level Predator, etc. OR. Plant feeds Herbivore, Herbivore feeds Carnivore). If I understood your question correctly...
Basically it is a pyramid made up of different trophic levels (trophic being the list of who eats who...but don't use this for a definition) these levels are stacked on top of each other making a pyramid starting with: Producer Primary consumer Secondary consumer Tertiary consumer Tertiary consumer would be the top of the pyramid (this is only my take on it so there may be more) Hope this helped :)

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.
