Well, first the energy will start from the sun and the plant will turn the light energy into chemical energy, then an organism will eat this plant. Now since every time an organism consumes another organism or plant it will only be able to absorb 10% of its energy. Then the cycle will continue until the top carnivore dies and the decomposes absorb the energy and start the cycle over.

Bout how much energy is transferred from a producer to a primary consumer?

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.
