Answer:

5 energy units

Explanation:

This is called the Ten-Percent rule! Every trophic level you go up, you only take 10% of the previous trophic level's energy!

Primary producers

5000 energy units (100% of 5000)

First-level Consumers

500 energy units (10% of 5000)

Second-level Consumers

50 energy units (1% of 5000)

Third-level Consumers

5 energy units (0.1% of 5000)

The third level consumer can get only 5 enery units from 5000 energy units of producers.

Amount of energy get by third level consumer

If the primary producers produce 5000 energy units, only 5 energy units  are available to the third-level consumers because only 0.1% of energy units are transferred to the third level consumers. By calculation, 0.1% of 5000 energy units are equal to 5 energy units.

So we can conclude that third level consumer can get only 5 enery units from 5000 energy units of producers.
