Payton Tapia · Answer 2

Answer;

= 3000 kJ

Explanation;

In every trophic level, only 10% of energy is passed on.

Grass, with 30,000 kJ of energy, is eaten by a zebra.

Zebra then has 10% of 30,000 kJ from the grass, which is 3,000 kJ of energy.

Cheetah then eats the zebra, gaining only 10% of 3,000 kJ of energy of the zebra. Finally as conclusion, cheetah has 300 kJ of energy after having acquired the zebra.
