It depends on the quantity of the food consumed by the consumer.

Lyla Hunter · Answer 2

Answer: it's 10%

Explanation: Primary consumers only obtain a fraction of the total solar energy-about 10%-captured by the producers they eat. The other 90% is used by the producer for growth, reproduction, and survival, or it is lost as heat. You can probably see where this is going. Primary consumers are eaten by secondary consumers.
