Answer:

The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is 20 % for the producer and the primary consumer.

Explanation:

The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is calculated by dividing the value of primary consumer by the value of producer and multiply by 100. The value of 1000 is divided by 5000 and multiply by 100, we get 20 % which means that when the primary consumer eat producer, only 20% of energy is transferred in the body of primary consumer while the remaining 80% energy will be lost as heat energy in the ecosystem.
