Protein lactoferrin is present in human body and it is found in certain body fluids such as saliva, breast milk and urine. The main function of protein lactoferrin is to bind with and transport iron in the body. When an infant absorb iron in breast milk, protein lactoferrin attaches to any of the extra iron that the infant does not absorb and stops it from allowing harmful pathogens such as bacteria to grow in the baby's gastrointestinal tract. Thus, protecting babies from illness and infections.

List the reasons why food chains to not send to exceed 4 links
Hitman42 [59]
As the number of organisms increase so does their tropic levels. As one organism eats the other energy is being transferred to that organism. The larger the food chain the lesser the organism' s would be because they would lose energy while trying to hunt and catch their prey and other activities. The food chain usually ends at the tertiary consumer or the fourth link because if it goes on like that there would be less energy hence these organisms would most likely starve and gradually die.
