See below.

Explanation:

Producers (plants) have the most energy in a food chain or web (besides the sun) and they give an organism more energy than a primary consumer or secondary consumer would.

Plants absorb about #1%# of the sunlight that strikes them. The rest is reflected back into space or transmitted through objects. Only about #10%# of the light energy absorbed by a plant is stored in the tissues of the plant and is available to primary consumer and decomposers.

Explanation:

Plants absorb about #1%# of the sunlight that hits them. The rest is reflected. This energy is converted into chemical energy in photosynthesis, and used for respiration, protein synthesis, other metabolic processes, and reproduction. Only about #10%# of the light energy absorbed by a plant is stored in the tissues of the plant and is available to the primary consumer and decomposers.
