A grass starts with 30,000 kJ of energy. How much energy would a cheetah acquire after it ate a zebra that consumed the grass?

according to the energy pyramid, the energy inherent to the organism decreases as the food chain progresses from the producer to the consumers. When a 30,000 KJ of energy from grass is eaten, then the consumer would acquire less than that of the energy of the grass. most of the energy is dissipated as heat or consumed during activities.
