In the producer, energy is lost through growth, respiration and other life processes. It's the same in the consumer - excretion, respiration, movement, growth and other life processes all account for the vast amounts of energy that are lost in a food chain. This explains why food chains don't normally last longer than 4 stages - producer, consumer, secondary consumer and tertiary consumer.

Is there more energy stored in the producer level or consumer level?
The producer level.
Is it true or false that the more levels that exist between a producer and a given consumer the larger the percentage of the original energy from producers is available to that consumer?
False. The more levels that exist between a producer (like plants) and a consumer (like herbivores or carnivores), the less energy is available to that consumer. Energy is lost at each trophic level due to processes like metabolism and heat loss, so with more levels, the percentage of the original energy from producers decreases for the consumer.
