1 Chapter 41 Animal Nutrition PowerPoint Lecture Presentations for Biology Eighth Edition Neil Campbell and Jane Reece Lectures by Chris Romero, updated by Erin Barley with contributions from Joan Sharp Copyright 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

2 Key concepts Nutrients and food processing Homeostasis (balance): energy Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

3 Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutrition In general, animals fall into three categories: Herbivores eat mainly autotrophs (plants and algae) Carnivores eat other animals Omnivores regularly consume animals as well as plants or algal matter Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

5 Concept 41.1: An animal s diet must supply chemical energy, organic molecules, and essential nutrients An animal s diet provides chemical energy, which is converted into ATP and powers processes in the body Animals need a source of organic carbon and organic nitrogen in order to construct organic molecules Essential nutrients are required by cells and must be obtained from dietary sources Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

6 Essential Nutrients There are four classes of essential nutrients: Essential amino acids Essential fatty acids Vitamins Minerals Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

7 Fig Essential amino acids for adults Methionine Valine Beans and other legumes Threonine Phenylalanine Corn (maize) and other grains Leucine Isoleucine Tryptophan Lysine

8 Fig Some animals have adaptations that help them through periods when their bodies demand extraordinary amounts of protein

9 Table 41-1

10 Table 41-2

11 Dietary Deficiencies Undernourishment is the result of a diet that consistently supplies less chemical energy than the body requires Malnourishment is the long-term absence from the diet of one or more essential nutrients Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

12 Fig. 41-4

13 Assessing Nutritional Needs Insights into human nutrition have come from epidemiology, the study of human health and disease in populations Neural tube defects were found to be the result of a deficiency in folic acid in pregnant mothers Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

14 Fig. 41-5

15 Concept 41.2: The main stages of food processing are ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination Ingestion is the act of eating Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

20 Digestion is the process of breaking food down into molecules small enough to absorb In chemical digestion, the process of enzymatic hydrolysis splits bonds in molecules with the addition of water Absorption is uptake of nutrients by body cells Elimination is the passage of undigested material out of the digestive compartment Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

21 Fig Small molecules Pieces of food Mechanical digestion Chemical digestion (enzymatic hydrolysis) Nutrient molecules enter body cells Food Undigested material 1 Ingestion 2 Digestion 3 Absorption 4 Elimination

22 Digestive Compartments Most animals process food in specialized compartments These compartments reduce the risk of an animal digesting its own cells and tissues Intracellular digestion Extracellular digestion Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

23 Fig Tentacles Mouth Food Gastrovascular cavity Epidermis Gastrodermis

24 Fig Crop Esophagus Gizzard Intestine Pharynx Anus Mouth This digestive tube is called a complete digestive tract or an alimentary canal (a) Earthworm Foregut Esophagus Typhlosole Lumen of intestine Midgut Hindgut Rectum Anus Mouth Crop (b) Grasshopper Gastric cecae Mouth Esophagus Stomach Gizzard Intestine Crop Anus (c) Bird

25 Fig The mammalian digestive system consists of an alimentary canal and accessory glands that secrete digestive juices through ducts Tongue Salivary glands Oral cavity Pharynx Esophagus Sphincter Mouth Esophagus Salivary glands Ascending portion of large intestine Cecum Small intestine Pancreas Appendix Rectum Liver Small intestine Large intestine Anus Sphincter Stomach Duodenum of small intestine Food is pushed along by peristalsis, rhythmic contractions of muscles in the wall of the canal Valves called sphincters regulate the movement of material between compartments Gallbladder Gallbladder Liver Pancreas Stomach Small intestine Large intestine Rectum Anus A schematic diagram of the human digestive system

31 Pancreatic Secretions The pancreas produces proteases trypsin and chymotrypsin, protein-digesting enzymes that are activated after entering the duodenum Its solution is alkaline and neutralizes the acidic chyme Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

35 The colon houses strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli, some of which produce vitamins Feces are stored in the rectum until they can be eliminated Two sphincters between the rectum and anus control bowel movements Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

36 Fig Incisors Canines Premolars (a) Carnivore Molars (b) Herbivore (c) Omnivore

37 Stomach and Intestinal Adaptations Herbivores generally have longer alimentary canals than carnivores, reflecting the longer time needed to digest vegetation Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

38 Fig Small intestine Small intestine Stomach Cecum Colon (large intestine) Carnivore Herbivore

39 Mutualistic Adaptations Many herbivores have fermentation chambers, where symbiotic microorganisms digest cellulose The most elaborate adaptations for an herbivorous diet have evolved in the animals called ruminants Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

40 Fig Rumen 1 2 Reticulum Intestine Esophagus Abomasum 4 3 Omasum

41 Concept 41.5: Homeostatic mechanisms contribute to an animal s energy balance Nearly all of an animal s ATP generation is based on oxidation of energy-rich molecules: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats Animals store excess calories primarily as glycogen in the liver and muscles Energy is secondarily stored as adipose, or fat, cells When fewer calories are taken in than are expended, fuel is taken from storage and oxidized Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

42 Fig Stimulus: Blood glucose level rises after eating. Homeostasis: 90 mg glucose/ 100 ml blood Stimulus: Blood glucose level drops below set point.

43 Overnourishment and Obesity Overnourishment causes obesity, which results from excessive intake of food energy with the excess stored as fat Obesity contributes to diabetes (type 2), cancer of the colon and breasts, heart attacks, and strokes Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

44 Fig µm

45 Researchers have discovered several of the mechanisms that help regulate body weight Homeostatic mechanisms are feedback circuits that control the body s storage and metabolism of fat over the long-term Hormones regulate long-term and short-term appetite by affecting a satiety center in the brain Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

46 Fig Ghrelin Leptin PYY Insulin

47 The complexity of weight control in humans is evident from studies of the hormone leptin Mice that inherit a defect in the gene for leptin become very obese Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

48 Fig EXPERIMENT Obese mouse with mutant ob gene (left) next to wild-type mouse. RESULTS

49 Obesity and Evolution The problem of maintaining weight partly stems from our evolutionary past, when fat hoarding was a means of survival A species of birds called petrels become obese as chicks; in order to consume enough protein from high-fat food, chicks need to consume more calories than they burn Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Distinguish among undernourishment, overnourishment, and malnourishment 4. Describe the four main stages of food processing 5. Distinguish between a complete digestive tract and a gastrovascular cavity Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

52 6. Follow a meal through the mammalian digestive system: List important enzymes and describe their roles Compare where and how the major types of macromolecules are digested and absorbed 7. Relate variations in dentition with different diets 8. Explain where and in what form energy-rich molecules may be stored in the human body Copyright 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
