35
Q

Bioenergetics

A

The overall flow and transformation of energy in an animal determines nutritional needs and is related to the animal size activity and environment

36
Q

Metabolic rate

A

Amount of energy and animal uses in one unit of time

37
Q

Energy budgets

A

The ways in which animals use the chemical energy of food depends on the environment behavior size and Thermo regulation

Physiological state of decreased activity and metabolism (hibernation/estivation)

39
Q

Taxis

A

The automatic movement toward or away from a stimulus

40
Q

Kinesis

A

Simple change in activity rate in response to a stimulus

41

Fasicles: densely packed groups of elongated cells that are made up of muscle fibers

42
Q

Muscle fiber made of

A

Muscle fiber(single cell w many nuclei) made of myofibrils

43
Q

Myofibril made of

A

Sarcomeres which are made if thin filaments and thick filaments

44
Q

Sarcomere structure

A

Made of thin filaments called actin and thick filaments called myosin

45
Q

Angie needed for repeated muscle contractions is stored in

A

Creatine phosphate and glycogen

46
Q

Creatine

A

Compound that can quickly make ATP by transferring a phosphate group to ADP

47
Q

Glycogen

A

Broken down into glucose which is used in glycolysis and aerobic respiration to make ATP

48
Q

Gastrovascular cavity

A

Function and bowtie Justin and distribution of nutrients only one opening where food comes in and out ex ctenophores

49
Q

Complete Digestive tract

A

Have specialized tubes one way between the mouth and anus ex nematodes

50
Q

Mechanical digestion

A

Chewing and saliva to soften food

51
Q

Chemical digestion

A

Saliva contains salivary amylase which begins digesting carbs

52
Q

The esophagus

A

Transports food from the pharynx to the stomach

53
Q

The stomach

A

Secretes gastric juice containing pepsin that has low pH and is used to hydrolyze proteins

54
Q

Small intestine

A

Where breakdown of food is and nutrients absorbed into blood
Liver secrets bile to digest fats
Pancreatic juice breakdown carbs fats proteins
Villi microvilli

55
Q

Large intestine

A

Absorb remaining water and forming feces

56
Q

Open circulation

A

Transport system in which the heart pumps blood into cavities where it bathes the organs directly and mixes with the interestitual fluid

57
Q

Hemolymph

A

Mix between blood and interstitial fluid

58
Q

Closed circulation

A

Blood is contained within vessels and is distinct from interstitial fluid

59
Q

Chamber of fish? Amphibs? Mammals?

Mam 4

60
Q

Lost fluid and proteins return to the blood via

A

Q

Lymphatic system

A

Fluid it carries called lymph

Lymph nodes filter lymph and attach viruses and bact- swell when fighting infection bc more white blood cells
