Animal Nutrition

AP Biology

What do animals need to live?

O2

food

ATP

Animals make energy using: food oxygen

Animals build bodies using: food for raw materials

amino acids, sugars, fats, nucleotides

ATP energy for synthesis

AP Biology

How do animals get their food?

filter (suspension) feeding substrate feeding

fluid feeding bulk feeding

AP Biology

AP Biology

Getting & Using Food Ingest

taking in food

Digest mechanical digestion

breaking up food into smaller pieces chemical digestion

breaking down food into molecules small enough to be absorbed into cells

enzymes (hydrolysis)

Absorb absorb across cell membrane

diffusion active transport

Eliminate undigested extracellular material

passes out of digestive system

intracellulardigestion

Digestive systemsEverybody’s got one!

AP Biology

Human digestive systemAlimentary Canal

AP Biology

Common processes & structures Movement & Control

peristalsis push food along by rhythmic waves of

smooth muscle contraction in walls of digestive system

sphincters muscular ring-like valves, regulate the

passage of material between sections of digestive system

Accessory glands salivary glands, pancreas, liver & gall

bladder secrete digestive juices (enzymes & fluid)

AP Biology

Swallowing (& not choking)

Epiglottis problem: breathe & swallow through same orifice flap of cartilage closes trachea (windpipe) when swallowing food travels down esophagus

Esophagus move food along to stomach by peristalsis

AP Biology

Ingestion Mouth

mechanical digestion teeth

breaking up food chemical digestion

saliva amylase

enzyme digests starch mucin

slippery protein (mucus) protects soft lining of digestive system lubricates food for easier swallowing

buffers neutralizes acid to prevent tooth decay

anti-bacterial chemicals kill bacteria that enter mouth with food

StomachFunctions

food storage can stretch to fit ~2L food

disinfect food HCl = pH 2

kills bacteriabreaks apart cells

chemical digestion pepsin

enzyme breaks down proteinssecreted as pepsinogen

activated by HCl

But the stomach is made out of protein!What stops the stomach from digesting itself?

mucus secreted by stomach cells protects stomach lining

Ooooooh!Zymogen!

Used to think ulcers were caused by stress

tried to control with antacids

Now know ulcers caused by bacterial infection of stomach

Helicobacter pylori now cure with

antibiotics

Ulcers

inflammation of stomach

inflammation of esophagus

Colonized by H. pylori

Free of H. pylori

white blood cells

cytokines

inflammatory proteins(CagA)

cell damaging proteins(VacA)

helper T cells

neutrophil cells

H. pylori

Coevolution of parasite & host

AP Biology

Small intestine Function

major organ of digestion & absorption chemical digestion

digestive enzymes absorption through lining

over 6 meters! small intestine has huge surface area = 300m2 (~size

of tennis court)

Structure 3 sections

duodenum = most digestion jejunum = absorption of nutrients & water ileum = absorption of nutrients & water

AP Biology

Duodenum 1st section of small intestines

acid food from stomach mixes with digestive juices from accessory glands:

pancreas liver gall bladder

AP Biology

Pancreas Digestive enzymes

peptidases trypsin

trypsinogen chymotrypsin

chimotrypsinogen carboxypeptidase

procarboxypeptidase pancreatic amylase

Buffers reduces acidity

alkaline solution rich in bicarbonate (HCO3-)

buffers acidity of material from stomach

Explain how this is a molecular example of structure-function theme.

Liver Digestive System Functions

produces bile stored in gallbladder until needed breaks up fats

act like detergents to breakup fats

Absorption by Small Intestines Absorption through villi & microvilli

finger-like projections increase surface area for absorption

Ooooh…Structure-Function

theme!

AP Biology

Absorption of Nutrients Passive transport

fructose

Active (protein pumps) transport pump amino acids, vitamins & glucose

against concentration gradients across intestinal cell membranes

allows intestine to absorb much higher proportion of nutrients in the intestine than would be possible with passive diffusionworth the cost of ATP!

nutrients are valuable…grab all you can get!

AP Biology

Large intestines (colon) Function

re-absorb water use ~9 liters of water every

day in digestive juices > 90% of water reabsorbed

not enough water absorbed back to body

diarrhea too much water absorbed back to body

Constipation http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&

AP Biology

Flora of large intestines Living in the large intestine is a rich

flora of harmless, helpful bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli)

a favorite research organism bacteria produce vitamins

vitamin K; biotin, folic acid & other B vitamins generate gases

by-product of bacterial metabolism

methane, hydrogen sulfide

Rectum Last section of colon (large intestines)

eliminate feces undigested materials

extracellular waste mainly cellulose from plants roughage or fiber

salts masses of

Problems of the Digestive System: (P. 368)

ulcer: a hole or sore inside the stomach or small intestine often caused by H-Pylori bacteria

Our stomachs are covered by mucus which protects the lining.

heartburn: is when stomach acids move up the esophagus. We call it "heartburn" but it is from the esophagus which is behind the heart. Eating too much or irritating foods can cause heartburn. (Also called G.E.R.D)

AP Biology

Digestive Disorders Continued! Celiac- cannot tolerate the protein gluten (wheat, rye,

and barley), and the immune system responds by damaging the villi in the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmZczwtsbVc

Constipation - too much water is removed from waste resulting in stools that are too hard and difficult to excrete (Increase fiber in diet and get enough fluids to prevent this )

Choking - food is trapped in windpipe (failure of epiglottis to close the airway when swallowening)

AP Biology

Lactose Intolerance

Is the inability to digest a lot of lactose (sugar found in milk).

Caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase

AP Biology

Salmonella Salmonella - Bacteria found on raw

chicken and eggs...undercooked meat can cause salmonella poisening which can lead to death

Ecoli - Bacteria that live in the intestinal tracks of animals and birds and is transmitted to humans when we eat food that is contaminated with animal feces.

AP Biology

Colitis

Is a disease involving the inflammation of the colon or other parts of the large intestine.

Chrons disease is a type of inflammatory colitis. It is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mostly the small and large intestine. Occurs when the body’s immune

system, attack your body’s own tissues

AP Biology

Appendicitis appendix becomes blocked with mucus

causing the bacteria that usually lives in your appendix to become infected and then multiply resulting in inflammation.

-When you lack certain vitamins it can cause diseases: Lack of vitamin A loss of night vision where too much can cause hair

loss. Lack of vitamin C can cause scurvy (P. 189 table 9-1)

Do You Know Your Superfoods? | The Dr. Oz Show

RDA: Recommended daily allowance

%DV: Percent daily value. It is the amount (%) of nutrient found compared to 100% which you need everyday.

If you have eaten food with Vitamin A 85%...then you still need to eat food that contains another 15% to get recommended amount.
