Would you receive more energy from corn by eating it direcly or by eating the same mass of beef from a cow that had been fed on corn?

The latter. Corn eaten as a meal, be it corn-on-the-cob or as a side-dish, can only give a person (human) so much energy and nutrients; basically it mostly acts as a gut-filler and not much else. We can get some protein and energy from it, but it doesn't stay in the stomach and get digested as thoroughly as meat does. Energy from meat is released slowly over time as the amino acid enzymes in the stomach break down the meat, giving us a long-term burn of energy to use. Corn or any fruit and vegetable, only acts as a quick-burst of energy, then decreases as soon as it came.

Would you receive more energy from corn by eating it directly by eating the same mass of of beef from a cow that had been fed corn?
You would get more energy from eating the corn directly. In general, only about 10% of the energy gets passed up the food chain which means that you only get 10% of the energy that was originally contained in the corn by eating the cow that ate the corn.

Eating the cow will give you plenty of protein and other nutrients found in meat that corn does not provide.

If nuclear fusion did not occur in stars how would that affect us on earth?
Since most of the energy we get from the Sun is the result of nuclear fusion, I guess that would mean that we would receive ALMOST NO energy from the Sun. We WOULD receive some energy as a result of the Sun contracting due to gravity, but that wouldn't last long.
