Answer:

0.1% of energy

Explanation:

Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers absorb only 0.1 or 1%.

From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is dissipated in the environment.  

At each trophic level occurs an energy transfer to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

If wheat transferred 10% of the energy to mice, and of that 10% mice transferred 10% of the energy to hawk, then the percentage of energy transferred from the first trophic level to the third equals 0.1%.

10% (1st TL-2nd TL) / 10% (2nd TL - 3rd TL) = 0.1% (1stTL - 3rd TL)

<em>TL = Trophic level           </em>

I won’t be willing to eat this altered genetically crops because they are much harmful to humans. For example some links term genetically crops do gluten disorders that affect millions of Americans. Again there are multiple toxins which are from genetically altered crops which detect in real and fetal blood.

Negatives.

Genetically altered crops have got DNA and can be transferred to people who eat them.

Genetically altered crops can cause modified corn to rat tumours.

They cause human breast cancers induced by glyphosate via estrogen receptors.

In pigs genetically crops cause severe stomach inflammation and enlarged uteri.
