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.

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.
Which organism would receive the least amount of transferred solar energy?
