The chart is split into levels the base of the triangle is the primary producer, then it goes to the first level consumer, then second level consumer, and possibly third level consumer. The Elephant Grass has a 100% energy because it absorbed directly from the Sun. Then the warthog is 10% because he has eaten the grass and he he has only 10% because it took the other 90% percent has been lost in cellular respiration.
