If the producer have 35,000 kg of biomass so the primary consumers have 3500 kg of biomass, the secondary consumers have 350 kg of biomass and tertiary consumers have 35 kg of biomass.

Explanation:

Primary consumers are those organisms which feed on producers. Only 10 percent of energy is transferred from producers and the remaining is lost in the form of heat energy. Secondary consumers feeds on primary consumers and tertiary consumers are those organisms which feed on secondary consumers. In each trophic levels, only 10 percent of energy is transferred and 90 percent is lost as heat.
