Nutrition
Nutrient
◦ Any organic or
inorganic substance
taken in that is
required for:
Survival
Growth
Development
Tissue repair
Reproduction
Nutrition
◦ The process of
consuming and
using food and
nutrients
Ingestion
Digestion
Absorption
Elimination

Nutrition
Any nutritionally adequate dietsatisfies two primary purposes:
◦ 1) fuel (chemical energy)
◦ 2) raw organic materials (biosynthesis)
Homeostatic mechanismsmanage these resources.

Nutrient Requirements
Organic
◦ Carbohydrates
◦ Protein
◦
Lipids◦ Vitamins
Inorganic
◦ Minerals
◦ Water

Essential nutrients
Certain compounds cannot besynthesized from any ingested orstored precursor molecule
Must be obtained in diet
4 groups◦ Essential amino acids
◦ Essential fatty acids
◦ Vitamins
◦ Minerals
8/13/2019 Chapter 45 Lecture
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter-45-lecture 6/40
Essential Amino Acids
8 Required
◦ Tryptophan, methionine, valine, threonine,
phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine
Carnivores and omnivores readily
obtain all 8 in meat
Most plants do not contain every
essential amino acid in sufficient
quantity
8/13/2019 Chapter 45 Lecture
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter-45-lecture 7/40
Essential Fatty Acids
Needed for membrane structure
Unsaturated fatty acids found primarily
in plants
Strict carnivores obtain them from fish
or adipose tissue of birds and
mammals
8/13/2019 Chapter 45 Lecture

Essential Vitamins
Organic nutrients that serve ascoenzymes◦ Water-soluble vitamins
vitamin C – not stored
◦ Fat-soluble vitamins vitamin A – stored in adipose tissue
Not all animals require the same vitamins◦ Only primates and guinea pigs can’t synthesize
vitamin C
8/13/2019 Chapter 45 Lecture

Vitamin C – Citric AcidVitamin A – Ascorbic
Acid

Cofactor
◦ a non-protein
chemical compound
that is bound to a
protein and is
required for the
protein's biological
activity
◦ organic or inorganic
Coenzymes
◦ A cofactor that is
loosely bound
8/13/2019 Chapter 45 Lecture
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/chapter-45-lecture 11/40
Essential Minerals
Inorganic ions that serve as building
materials and cofactors
◦ Ca, P, S, K, Cl, Fe, Mg, Zn, I, Na
Many required in only trace amounts
◦ Less than 1 mg/day
Some can be stored
◦ Iodine or calcium

Animals are Heterotrophs
Herbivores
◦ Plant material only
Carnivores
◦ Animal flesh and fluids
Omnivores
◦ Both plant and animal material

Feeding Strategies
Suspension-feeders◦ baleen whale, bivalves, lancelet, tunicate
Substrate-feeders / grazers
◦ chiton, earthworm
Bulk-feeders
◦ Most carnivores, herbivores and
omnivores◦ python, lion, bear
Fluid-feeders
◦ mosquito, leech

Mouth
The tongue mixes foodwith saliva.◦ moistens and lubricates
food
◦ secretions controlled by
nervous system Taste-sensitive neurons inthe mouth send impulsesto the brain, whichresponds by stimulatingthe salivary glands.
◦ Antimicrobial
compounds◦ kills ingested bacteria

Vertebrate Teeth
Carnivorous mammalshave pointed teeth thatlack flat grindingsurfaces.
Herbivores must
pulverize cellulose ofcell walls of planttissue beforedigestion.◦ have large, flat teeth
suited to grinding Humans are
essentially carnivoresin the front, andherbivores in the back.

moves food alongesophagus tostomach. peristalsis
◦ Food entry is
controlled by ring ofsmooth muscle.sphincter

Crop
Storage organ
Dilation of lower
esophagus
Little or nodigestion
Birds that eat
primarily grains
and seeds havelarger crops than
birds that eat
insects and worms29
Mouth:
Has no teeth and cannot grind food
Two parts of
the stomach—
Proventriculus:
Secretes acid
and enzymes
Gizzard:
Contains tiny pebbles
that help pulverize food
Intestine:
Digests and
absorbs food
Esophagus:
Moves food to
the crop by
peristalsis
Crop:
A dilation of
the esophagus
that stores and
softens food
Cloaca:
Receives undigested
material for excretion

Stomach
Rugae◦ Surface is highly convoluted, enabling it to fold
when empty and expand as it fills with food.
Secretory systems
◦ Exocrine glands contain two cell types: parietal cells - secrete hydrochloric acid
chief cells - secrete pepsinogen

Stomach
Acid
◦ Human stomach
produces about 2
liters of HCl and
other gastric juiceseveryday.
helps denature food
proteins

Chyme
◦ leaves the stomach
through the pylorics hincter.
