... Plants catch the energy and change it into sugars. The plants are then eaten by consumers. These consumers get around 10% of the energy from the plant. If these consumers are eaten they pass on about 10% of their energy. Food chains can only be a certain length as the energy eventually runs out. ...

Triclocarban
Triclocarban is an antibacterial agent common in personal care products like soaps and lotions as well as in the medical field, for which it was originally developed. Studies on its antibacterial qualities and mechanisms are growing. Research suggests that it is similar in its mechanism to triclosan and is effective in fighting infections by targeting the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. Additional research seeks to understand its potential for causing antibacterial resistance and its effects on organismal and environmental health.
