5. Trophic Levels

5.1. Producers

5.1.1. They convert the suns energy to food energy, their energy gets passed to Primary Consumers; however, only 10% of the energy gets passed.

5.2. Primary Consumers

5.2.1. Primary Consumers get 10% of the sun's energy. They pass 10% of the energy they have to Secondary Consumers.

5.3. Secondary Consumers

5.3.1. Secondary Consumers get 1% of the sun's energy. They pass 10% of the energy they have to Tertiary Consumers.

5.4. Tertiary Consumers

5.4.1. Tertiary Consumers get .1% of the sun's energy. They would pass 10% of the energy they have to whoever eats them.
