No. This is because of the 10 percent rule. You only get 10% of the energy from the animal/plant consumed. For each trophic level the actual amount of energy absorbed is much less than the trophic level before it. For example, the grass gets 10% of the energy from the sun. The zebra gets 10% of the 10% that the grass got. The hungry lion only gets 10% of the little 10% of the 10% from the grass that the zebra get. It's a little confusing, but it does make sense. Lets do it in terms of muffins. You have 100 muffins. I'm in the next trophic level, so I get 10 muffins. The next tropic level above me only gets 1 muffin. The trophic level above that one only gets 0.1 of that muffin.

What animals contain a lot of mitochondria?
every animal has mitochondria in it. The one with the most would probably be an animal that eats lots of grass and needs lots of energy like tigers zebras or gazelles
What type of herbivore eats grass?
a lot of animals eat grass actually. they're called herbivores. herbivores include horses, zebras, antelope, cows, sheep, chicken, some farm animals, and gazelles. a lot of other animals are herbivores too. doi.
What is an example of a food chain with a human?
the sun gives the grass energy then a cow comes and eats it then the cow gets the energy from the grass cause the grass got it from the sun then we make the cow into a double cheese burger then we take the energy that the cow and grass had before it and p.s the sun will never waste out of energy
How is sun energy transferred to you if you eat burger and chips?
The potato plant uses energy from the sun in order to grow. The cow eats grass - which has used energy from the sun to grow.
What carnivore eats eats herbivores?
lions eat zebras, Spiders eat grasshoppers, hawks eat rabbits, ect.
How do grazing animals receive suns energy?
the sun's energy goes into the grass and then the grazing animal eats the grass!
Does zebras only eat grass?
nope it eats plants that grow on the savvanah and it eats grass..... .....thats it.
What eats savannas grass?
zebras, antelopes,and animals like that
How does coyote get energy from the sun?
Here's an example. It all starts with some grass. Grass goes performs photosynthesis, and grows. A bunny or small animal comes along and eats the grass, receiving sunlight energy as well. When the coyote eats the bunny, it receive energy from the grass, bunny, and Sun.
What eats a zebra that a cheetah eats?
lion cheetahs and leapords also eat antelope, but im not sure about the zebras
What eats leavs leavs?
if you mean leaves than giraffes,zebras,and caterpillars. all eat leaves. (zebras eat grass but its the same)
Why is energy lost in the 10 percent rule?
It's a biology question, and it means that only 10% of the energy in the trophic level before it is gained by the current consumer, the rest is lost as heat and various other by-products.Example:Food Chain: Sun -> Grass -> Antelope -> LionIn this example, the grass absorbs the energy of the sun and starts the 'energy chain'. When the antelope eats the grass, it will only receive 10% of the ORIGINAL energy from the sun, the rest is given off as heat and such to the environment. When the lion eats the antelope, it will only receive 10% of the energy that the antelope received from the grass, which would then be only 1% of the ORIGINAL energy from the sun.
How does energy from the sun get to a rabbit?
The grass gets it's energy from the sun and then the rabbit eats the grass.
What animals contain a lot of mitochondria?
every animal has mitochondria in it. The one with the most would probably be an animal that eats lots of grass and needs lots of energy like tigers zebras or gazelles
What animal in the food chain depends on grass?
Well, I'm just naming only a few that come to mind right now... A Cow... Um... Giraffes? Horses, and if so, also Zebras Sheep and I don't know, a bunch of animals that graze, (I think mostly farm animals.)
What kind of animals eats zebra?
they don't eat animals they eat grass or leaves Zebras are herbivore's.
What type of food does a zebra eat?
the zebra eats grass and he eats kinds of different plants and also eats fruit such as blue berries etcZebras eat grass Zebras are grazers, and feed on grasses, they will also eat shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves and bark. They are constantly on the move, as their food source gets low, due to lack of rain, they will move on to greener pastures.The zebra, much like its close relative the horse, is a grazing animal, which eats grass and other ground cover type plants.Zebras eat mostly red oat grass, bark, roots and stems. They will also eat some types of grasses with some leaves and twigs.Zebras feed on grass, shrubs, twigs, leaves, etc.The Zebra is Mainly a grazer, but sometimes eats leaves too!(it will eat leaves if necessary )
