Answer: They break down the plants and animals they eat.

Explanation: Carbon is all around us. We exhale carbon dioxide and plants take then to later on break it down to only take the carbon and leave out the oxygen for us to take. Carbon is also a really basic structure in molecular organisms and in ourselves. Consumers may obtain carbon by eating plants and animals that already have the carbon in their system. They break it down while eating.

How do consumers obtain energy?

  • Consumers must consume other species in order to get their nutrition and energy. Animal feces and remnants are broken down by decomposers to provide energy.
  • About 10% of the total solar energy is exclusively obtained by primary consumers from the producers they consume.
  • The remaining 90% is either lost as heat or utilized by the producer for growth, reproduction, and survival.
  • Secondary consumers eat primary consumers.
  • The function of consumers in an ecosystem is to gather energy by feeding on other species and occasionally to transfer energy to other consumers.
  • Other creatures in a food chain and ecosystem may be impacted by changes that affect consumers.
