What is the way energy is transferred from producers to consumers to decomposers?
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 a secondary consumer will eat this organisms and gain 10% of the energy it had. Then the top carnivore will eat this animal and will only gain 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.
