Answer:

300 kcal of energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grass produces 30,000 kcal of energy through the process of photosynthesis. The zebra eat this grass and would acquire 3000 kcal of energy because only 10% of energy will transferred from one trophic level to another. In this way, when the cheetah feed on zebra, it acquire 300 kcal of energy and again 10% of energy is transferred from zebra to cheetah while the remaining release in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy.
