Answer 2

radiant energy

Question 3

Answer 3

eat plants to obtain energy

Question 4

List the different types of herbivores

Answer 4

1. frugrivores (fruit-eaters)
2. granivores (seed-eaters)
3. nectivores (nectar-feeders)
4. folivores (leaf-eaters)

Question 5

Obligate Carnivores vs. Facultative Carnivores

Answer 5

Obligate carnivores can rely entirely on animal flesh to obtain their nutrients

Facultative carnivores eat non-animal food in addition to animal food

Question 6

Answer 9

False

Humans are omnivores

Question 10

Define energy

Answer 10

ability to do work

Question 11

In animals most often chemical energy is transformed into

Answer 11

kinetic energy (energy of movement) through processing of food and nutrients

Question 12

Chemical energy can often be transformed into

Answer 12

potential energy (energy to be used up)

Question 13

Energy that cannot be processed

Answer 13

waste systems - feces/urine

Question 14

Define metabolic pathways

Answer 14

A series of chemical reactions that yield a final product

Question 15

List two types of metabolic pathways and define them

Answer 15

Anabolic Pathways
Small molecules are being built into large ones - energy is required. Examples: Growth, maintenance

Catabolic Pathways
Large molecules are broken down into smaller ones - energy is released and no energy is required to do so. Examples: Break down of sugar

Question 16

True or False: Enzymes increase the activation energy of a chemical reaction

Answer 16

False

Enzymes lower the activation energy of a chemical path

Question 17

Starch and glycogen are broken down into__________by the enzymes _________

Answer 17

glycogen by amylase and maltase

Question 18

Viscosity

Answer 18

Viscosity is the property of a liquid that describes how fast or slowly it will flow. You can think of viscosity as how thick a liquid is. A liquid with high viscosity - that is thick, like peanut butter - will flow slowly.

Question 19
