The producer gets eaten by another organism.

Explanation:

For example, a plant will capture the energy from the sun to photosynthesise and produce energy.

But, it can still be eaten by another organism, and therefore the energy gets transferred to the predator that ate the plant.

This can also be known as trophic levels, where energies get transferred to higher trophic levels, but suffer a huge loss, up to #90%# energy loss.
