Step-by-step explanation:

Plants, as a autotrophs have chlorophyll to capture light energy from sun to make starch and sugar. Then, consumers eat plants, and the sugar is transferred to higher trophic level in a form of organic food. Nevertheless, energy is lost by uneaten food, indigestible food, unabsorbed food, excretory waste (eg co2) and heat loss by respiration.
