5. The producers on average can offer more energy as they are the direct source of
energy unlike the primary consumers who only pass on some of the acquired energy.

6. I think it is more efficient to eat plant products because they carry more energy and you
can benefit from that whereas the consumers offer a significantly less amount of energy.

7. The producers make their own food and are a primary source of energy however when a
primary consumer eats the producer they gain that energy, but by the time that a tertiary

consumer eats the secondary consumer the majority of the original energy has been lost.
At each level of the food chain more energy is lost.
