Not as much as the producer has because they use some of the energy they have used some energy for things like growth and repair and create more energy by using photosynthesis.

How much energy does a primary consumer receive of the original energy from the sun?

A primary consumer receives about 10% of the original energy from the sun. This energy is captured by producers through photosynthesis and passed on through the food chain, with energy decreasing at each trophic level.


Can a first level consumer eat a second level consumer?

1st level consumers are any heterotrophs (animals that do not harvest food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis) that eat producers (plants, bacteria, things that make their own food). 2nd level consumers are carnivores or omnivores that eat 1st level consumers, and the 3rd eats 2nd, and so on and so forth. Well a 3rd level consumer is a decomposer second is a carnivore first is a herbivore


What level consumer gets food directly from a producer?

A level 1 consumer gets food directly from a producer. Level 1 consumers are herbivores or primary consumers that eat plants or algae.


Why is there less energy in the last consumer than first?

Energy is lost at each trophic level due to inefficiencies in energy transfer, metabolism, and heat loss, which results in less energy being available to higher trophic levels. This phenomenon, known as the 10% rule, means that only about 10% of the energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next, leading to a decrease in energy as you move up the food chain.


What is the name of a third level comsumer?

A third-level consumer is an animal which eats any animal in the second level category, the only animal that would eat the animal would be a fourth level consumer which is not normally found in a ecosystem. You place a certain level consumer on top of the animal it eats. like a mouse would be a first level consumer, since it eats grass which is a producer, then, the owl whcih eats the mouse would be a second level consumer since it eats that first level consumer, rat.

How does the sparrow get energy from the first level consumer?

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(:

Where does a first level consumer get its energy?

What level consumer is a white tiger first or second?

A white tiger is considered a second-level consumer. As a carnivore, it preys on first-level consumers, such as herbivores, to obtain energy.


How does a sparrow get energy from the first level consumer?

A sparrow obtains energy from the first-level consumer (such as insects or seeds) by consuming and digesting it. The energy stored in the food is broken down during digestion, releasing energy that the sparrow utilizes for various physiological functions like movement, growth, and reproduction.
