Chapter 41 Flashcards
an animals diet must satisfy these three things:
- chemical energy: fuel to power body
- organic molecules: raw nutrients to build an animals own molecules
- essental nutrients: substances the animal cannot make for itself
food energy is used to produce ____________ which powers the activities of cells and ultimately entire organisms
ATP
ATP is usually maintained from ________________ and stored or burned during __________________
carbohydrates or lipids
cellular respiration
macromolecules are __________________ and used as raw materials needed for animals own macromolecules
dissassembled
_______________ is the maintance growth and reproduction that occurs when macromolecules are dissassembled and reassembled
biosynthesis
________________ is a molecule that obtained from carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
carbon
___________________________ is a molecule obtained from proteins and nucleic acids
nitrogen
4 certain nutrients must be obtained in preassembled form because an animal cannot manufacture them from raw materials
- essential amino acids
- esssential fatty acids
- vitamins
- minerals
4 certain nutrients must be obtained in __________because an animal cannot manufacture them from raw materials

4 functions of digestive system
- ingestion
- digestion
- absorption
- elimination
_____________ is taking food into body
ingestion
____________ processing food, breaking down into its component nutrients
digestion
what are the 2 kinds of digestion
- mechanical digestion
- chemical digestion
________________ physically break downs food into its smaller parts
mechanical digestion
_________________ breaks food into its component nutrients by way of enzymes
chemical digestion
_________________ transporting the nutrients into the bloodstream so they can be delivered to all of the body cells
absorption
_______________ not all component of food can be digested and absorbed. Undigestible wastes are eliminated form body by way of defication
elimination of waste
sponges exhibit ________________ digestion
intracellular
in ______________________ food particles are trapped by choanocytes and digested in ameobocytes
intacellular digestion
ingestion porifera cells
choanocytes
digestion porifera cells
ameobocytes
all other animals exhibit ______________________
extracellular digestion
during _____________________ digestion occurs outside of an animals cells. occurs within compartments that are continuos with the outside of the animals body. nutrients are them absorbed by cells
extracellular digestion
cnidarians and flatworms possess a __________________________
gastrovascular cavity
in a gastrovascular cavity:
_______________________ occurs within the cavity
a single opening functions in ____________________________
digestion and absorbtion
ingestion and elimination
animals other than (porifera, cnidarians, and flatworms) possess an ________________
alimentary canal
________________________ is a digestive canal is a digestive tube that extends between two openings
alimentary canal
____________________ are compartmentalized within specific organs along the length of the alimentary canal
digestion and absorption
________________ connect to the alimentary canal and secrete products into its way of ducts
accessory digestive glands
_______________________ is the entrance into the alimentary canal and is the only digestive organ that function in ______________________
oral cavity- ingestion
oral cavity begin the process of ___________________
mechanical and chemical digestion
_________________ function in mechanical digestion by way of chewing
teeth
________________ secrete ___________ into the oral cavity by way of ducts that contain enzymes to initiate chemical digestion
salivary glands
saliva
sliva contains the enzymes ____________ to initiate the digestion of ___________

________________ aids in mechaincal and chemical digestion. The tongue mixes food with saliva
tongue
___________________ mixed food with siliva
bolus
