Answer:

About 10%

Explanation:

The energy flow of the food chain is cyclical: It starts in the producing organisms and goes to the decomposers, which turn the organic matter into inorganic, making the energy to be used again by the producers.

Along the food chain, about only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level. This is because much of the energy is lost, either in the form of heat, in maintaining the vital functions of beings or in reproduction.

Therefore, as energy passes from one organism to another, more food is needed to meet the energy needs of the next consumer.

This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.
