Answer:

There are several ways in which animals losses energy such as movement from place to place, muscle movement and respiration etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

When animals such as deer, cow, rabbit etc feed on plants. Only 10 percent of energy is transferred from plants to the animal and the remaining is lost as heat energy in the atmosphere. This 10 percent of energy is used by the animals in muscle building and performing other activities such as movement and respiration. In respiration process, food molecules are broken down to produce energy and this energy is used in different processes.
