Question

A primary consumer gets energy from a producer. Where does the energy go from there? All of the energy is transferred to secondary consumers. All of the energy is used by the primary consumer. All of the energy is released as heat energy. Some of the energy is used for metabolism and the rest is released as heat energy.

Answer 1

All of the energy is released as heat energy.

Answer 2

Some of the energy is used for metabolism and the rest is released as heat energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some energy is used for metabolism, in order to be used for the primary consumer, so it can be transferred to secondary consumers. Only 10% of the energy used for the primary consumers are transferred to the secondary consumers. If a primary consumer use all its energy and release that energy into heat, it can´t be used for metabolism, and therefore can´t be used by the secondary consumers.
