Grass obtains 10% of the energy of the Sun. When a mouse eats the grass, it gets only 1% of the Sun's energy while 9% is lost as heat. It has already been known that only 10% of energy gets transferred from one link of the food chain to another. The answer to this question can be easily deduced from this fact.
