Animal Digestion Flow of energy through an animal is called
bioenergetics. Animals harvest chemical energy from the food
they eat. Food materials are digested through an
enzymatic process called hydrolysis. Digested molecules are absorbed by the cells
of the animal. Within the cell the absorbed nutrients are used
to create ATP through either cellularrespiration or fermentation.
After the energetic needs of staying alive are
met remaining molecules from food can bestored or used in biosynthetic reactions (e.g.body growth and repair).
Energy needs are quantified in many ways. Metabolic rate (MR) = sum of all the energy-
requiring biochemical reactions occurring overa given time interval.
MR can be measured in many ways.
One way would be to measure heat productionusing a calorimeter. closed container that records heat loss.
Alternatively measure the amount of oxygenconsumed or CO2 produced through cellularrespiration.
Or the amount of food consumption. MR is affected by being an ectotherm or an
endotherm. But also is affected by size and metabolic rate.

Every animal experiences a range of Metabolic Rates (MRs).
Minimum MR powers the basic functions that support life. cell maintenance, breathing, heartbeat. average human Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) or 1,600-1,800 kcalper day for adult males and 1,300 to 1,500 kcal per day for adult
females. equivalent to the energy used by a 75 watt light bulb.
Maximum MRs power activities such as vigorous exercise or flying. maximal MRs are provided through the highest rates of ATP
utilization.
Most animals are in between: sitting during this lecture requires a MR greater than that of
BMR. The MR of a non-growing endotherm at rest is called the basal
metabolic rate or BMR.
The MR of a non-growing ectotherm at rest at a particulartemperature is called the standard metabolic rate of SMR.

Need to feed Powering the reactions that underlie our BMR requires cellular energy. Cellular energy to most animals is ATP. ATP can be derived from a number of nutrients within our food. So we need to ingest food and process it to produce ATP = chemical
heterotrophs. The process of ingesting and processing is called digestion. There are several types of eating strategies:
herbivores carnivores omnivores
Regardless of what is eaten the animal diet must satisfy threenutritional needs
1. Must provide fuel chemical energy: for all the cellular work of the body.
2. Must provide the organic raw materials for biosynthesis: carbon skeletons.
3. Must provide essential nutrients that the animal cannot make: e. g. vitamins and minerals
The nutritional requirements of animals varies greatly. Also have developed many diverse adaptations for obtaining their food
and processing it.

Four main mechanisms for feeding: 1. Suspension or filter feeders
many aquatic animals sift small particles from the water e.g. clams and oysters, whales
2. Substrate feeders animals that live on or in their food source eat their way through their substrate
e.g. insects 3. Fluid feeders suck nutrient rich fluid from a living host (animal or plant)
4. Bulk feeders most animals
eat relatively large pieces of food adaptations include jaws, fangs, teeth kill prey and rip off
pieces of food more complex adaptations in their digestive system also
separate compartments for mechanical and chemical
digestion vs. absorption

Animals have an energy budget flow of energy in and out of an animal
production of ATP accounts for the largestfraction of this energy that is used nearly all animals generate ATP through the
oxidation of energy-rich organic moleculessuch as carbohydrates, proteins and fats during cellular respiration
Regulated through homeostasis e. g. glucose regulation
Severe problems occur when the energy budget
gets knocked out of whack for long periods of time caloric imbalance this imbalance can lead to undernourishment
or overnourishment

Nutrition Food must provide the raw materials for biosynthetic processes
from sugar obtain carbon from proteins obtain nitrogen Many of our foods contain essential nutrients
Essential amino acids animals require 20 amino acids to make proteins most animal species can generate these as long as they ingest nitrogen-
containing foods
however, some amino acids cannot be made in humans there are 8 (9 ininfants histidine) deficiency of protein synthesis decreases the concentration of blood
plasma proteins decreases the osmotic pressure of the blood plasma water then flows out of the blood plasma into the surrounding tissues =
edema (especially pronounced in the abdominal region) dominant role in determine mental function
best source is meat poor source are plant materials most domesticated plants are deficient inone or two essential AAs.
e.g. corn deficient in lysing and tryptophan Essential fatty acids
certain unsaturated fatty acids Vitamins and minerals

The main stages of food processing are:
Ingestion: Act of eating Digestion: Breaking down of food into particles small enough to be
absorbed by cells cleaves large macromolecules into their components of sugars, amino acids,
fatty acids/glycerol and nucleic acids two types: chemical and mechanical
chemical = enzymatic hydrolysis two kinds of digestive compartments for the processing of food: intracellular
and extracellular allows the animal to digest safely without digesting itself intracellular e.g. food vacuoles
digestion within a cell cell engulfs the food particle (phagocytosis) enters the food vacuole vacuole fuses with lyzosomes contain enzymes for digestion very common in primitive animals
extracellular seen in most higher order animals breakdown takes place outside the cells in compartments followed by absorption in simple animals the digestive compartment is a very simple tube =
gastrovascular cavity (Cnidarians and Platyhelminthes) other animals have evolved specialized structures birds vs. mammals vs. insects
Absorption: Small molecules through the small and large intestines Elimination:
lower animals usually have a single opening to their digestive cavity. with increased complexity in animal body plans complete digestive tract with
two openings ingestion and elimination. allows for ingestion to take place while elimination is also occurring.

Animal nutritional systemsComparative Digestion
A. Food Vacuoles -- the simplest digestivecompartments; organelles where a singlecell digests its food without hydrolyticenzymes mixing with the cell's cytoplasm(intracellular digestion).
Ex: Protozoa, sponges.
Extracellular digestion occurs in earlystages of digestion in most animals;exclusive type of digestion in bacteria andfungi.

The vertebrate digestive system Mouth and pharynx leading to esophagus.
Some digestion in stomach, which can be multiplechambered (ruminants).
Digestion continues in small intestine, which isalso where absorption occurs (some guts includea cecum).
Water and minerals absorbed by large intestine.
Undigested remains move to rectum and egestedthrough anus.

Voluntary phase ---tongue pushes food to back of oral cavity
Involuntary phase ----pharyngeal stage breathing stops & airways are closed soft palate & uvula are lifted to close off nasopharynx vocal cords close epiglottis is bent over airway as larynx is lifted controlled by autonomic nervous system
Peristalsis pushes food down circular fibers behind bolus longitudinal fibers in front of bolus shorten the distance of
travel Travel time is 4-8 seconds for solids and 1 sec for liquids Lower sphincter relaxes as food approaches

Digestion in a Ruminant
Sheep, cattle, Camel, etc. Four-chambered stomach: rumen, reticulum, omasum andabomasum.
Symbiosis with prokaryotes and ciliated protists thatproduce cellulase, necessary to break down cellulose.
When a ruminant eats grass, it passes into the rumen andreticulum for processing by microorganisms.
The cud is periodically regurgitated and chewed again
The cud, when swallowed, enters the omasum andabomasum to be digested by the ruminants own enzymes
