Answer:

Humans gain more energy from eating the plants rather than the cow.

Step-by-step explanation:

More consumers in a chain of eating means less energy reaches the final consumer. Approximately 10% of the energy from food is given to the consumer when eaten, and this chain continues down the line of consumers. This is known as the 10% rule in biology. This rule is used by an ecosystem to limit the amount of animals it can support.
