To determine how much energy is transferred to the primary consumers, you can calculate 10% of the 10,000 kilocalories (kcal) produced.
The calculation is as follows:
\[
\text{Energy transferred} = 10,000 \, \text{kcal} \times 0.10 = 1,000 \, \text{kcal}
\]
Therefore, the amount of energy transferred to the primary consumers is **1,000 kcal**.
The calculation is as follows:
\[
\text{Energy transferred} = 10,000 \, \text{kcal} \times 0.10 = 1,000 \, \text{kcal}
\]
Therefore, the amount of energy transferred to the primary consumers is **1,000 kcal**.
