The flow of energy from one level to another does not happen with 100% efficiency. The producers only transfer 10% of the energy they absorb from the Sun. The major chunk of the absorbed energy goes into the growth of the producers, the rest gets lost in the form of waste (shedding of leaves, reproduction, etc.) and the remaining 10% is the amount that is available to the primary consumers. So by this logic, if there is 150,000 KJ of energy available at the producer level, then, only 15,000 KJ of energy will get transferred to the primary consumers.

<span>Neils Bohr </span>developed a model of the atom (Bohr model) to explain how the structure of the atom changes when it undergoes energy changes. His major idea was that energy of the atom was quantized (this means that the atom could only have very specific amounts of energy) and the amount of energy in the atom was related to the electrons possession in the atom. In the Bohr model, electrons travel in orbits around the nucleus. The further the electron from the nucleus the more energy it has. Bohr used Planck's quantum concept of E=hv.
