BIOL 1107 Chapter Notes - Chapter 41: Chemical Energy, Herbivore, Plant Cell
Document Summary
Muscles and tissues of crab chewed into pieces and broken down by acid and enzymes and absorbed as small molecules. Nutrition: food being taken in, taken apart and taken up. Animals unlike plants need to consume food for energy and organic molecules for new molecules, cells and tissues. Most animals opportunistic feeders eat different food when usual food is not available. Ex. deers eat plants (herbivore) but also eat insects or worms. Microorganisms are unavoidable supplement in animals diet. An animal"s diet must supply chemical energy, organic building blocks and essential nutrients. Diet must satisfy: chemical energy for cellular processes, cells, tissues, organs and whole animals, produces atp powers dna replication/cell division/flight, organic building blocks for macromolecules, essential nutrients, chemical energy. To meet need of atp and use in cellular respiration/energy storage. Raw material needed for biosynthesis: organic building blocks.
