Producers are plants, and are found on the first trophic level. Consumers are normally animals, and they comsume the plants or other animals that have eaten the plant before them. These consumers are found on the second trophic level and upwards, depending on how the consume the energy that originated from the plant.
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.

The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)
Trophic level efficiency is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is done by analyzing the ratio of energy present in the biomass of one trophic level compared to the trophic level below it. The efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is usually around 10%, meaning that only around 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
Their trophic level is primary consumer.

The organism resides at the primary consumer trophic level.
For growth and energy to live, move, and repair themselves.
It is the 2nd consumer on the trophic level! :)
Pigs are primary consumers and are typically classified as herbivores or omnivores. This places them at the secondary consumer trophic level, as they obtain energy by consuming plants and other organisms.

Without specific organisms provided, it is difficult to determine their trophic level. However, plants are typically found at the primary producer level (first trophic level), herbivores at the primary consumer level (second trophic level), carnivores at the secondary or tertiary consumer levels, and decomposers at the final trophic level.
Most of the energy available to a consumer trophic level is used by organisms for basic life functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. This energy is needed to maintain the organism's bodily functions and to support its life processes.
