It depends. When animals get produced, they are soon to be consumed by another bigger and stronger animal, but energy pyramids always start off by getting their energy from the sun.

How do consumers get energy to function?
They get the energy from whatever they consume (food).
What has the most energy in the energy pyramid?
Tertiary Consumers and Secondary carnivores
Can all consumers get their energy directly from the sun?
No
Does all of producers energy go to consumers?
Yes, it starts with the producers - plants, then to the primary consumers - herbivores and omnivores, then to the carnivores then to the decomposers, which breaks down dead bodies into nutrients essential for plant growth.
What are some examples of energy sources?
During photosynthesis, a plant - whcih is a producer - absorbs light energy from the sun and converts it into glucose, which is what the plant uses for energy. Some of the energy that the plant made may be released into the atmosphere as heat, some will be eaten by insects and other herbovores, which are called primary consumers. Secondary consumers may eat the primary consumers, getting energy from eating them. Consumers get energy by eating other consumers or producers.
When was Consumers Energy created?
Consumers Energy was created in 1886.
Is a dragonfly a producer consumer or a source of energy?
They are consumers.
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
How do producers and consumers use their energy?
Consumers mainly obtain energy from the food that they eat. This means that their source of energy will be from the producers.
What are the primary consumers of coal?
The primary consumers of coal would be energy companies burning it to create energy.
In an energy pyramid which group of organism acquires the most energy?
a.first-order consumers b.second-order consumers c.third-order consumers d.decomposers
Do consumers get energy indirectly from the sun?
Yes, consumers indirectly get energy from the sun through various processes. The sun's energy is captured by plants during photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates. Consumers then obtain this energy by consuming plants or other organisms that have consumed plants.
How producers consumers and decomposers obtain energy?
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
How do producers and consumers get their energy?
Producers and consumers exchange energy and matter in various ways. The producers are used as food for the consumers and the consumers are used as fertilizer and food for producers when they die.
How is energy transferred through a food chain?
10% or the energy of THE SUN is transferred. 1 tertiary consumers 10 secondary consumers 100 primary consumers 1000 producers 10000 sun
How consumers acquire energy to live?
By eating producers or other consumers.
What is a consumer in biology?
A consumer is a living organism that cannot synthesize energy from the sun. Therefore, consumers get energy by eating other organisms. There are many levels of consumers that make up the food web. These can include primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and sometimes quaternary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (they can only consume autotrophs). As energy travels from autotrophs to quaternary consumers, much of the energy is used by organisms or (primarily) dissipated as heat. Therefore, there are less quaternary consumers than autotrophs because quaternary consumers cannot get as much energy.
