1. I. Introduction Animal Nutrition A. Definition & Why?

2. Nutrition = bioenergetics or energy required for Life Strategies are based on metabolic rate and can be divided into endothermic and ectothermic. Figure 40.17

3. Metabolic rate == making and using ATP Figure 9.19

4. B. Metabolism Overview

5. 1. Basal Metabolic Rate vs. Standard Metabolic Rate

6. 2. Energy Budgets based on size, environment, behavior, and energy strategy Figure 40.20

7. Size vs. Energy Expenditures

8. 3. Regulation of intake is controlled by need? Figure 40.16

9. Regulating metabolism lies at the system and cellular level. Figure 9.20

10. II. Diet A. Definition B. Categories

11. 1. Amino acids Essential versus Non-essential

12. 2. Essential Fatty Acids == unsaturated type

13. 3. Vitamins == two groups water soluble

14. or fat soluble

15. 4. Minerals

16. II. Strategies A. Categories

17. The main categories for animal nutrition are 1. Herbivore,

18. The main categories for animal nutrition are2. Carnivore,

19. The main categories for animal nutrition areand 3. Omnivore.

20. B. Mechanisms

21. The main mechanisms for animal nutrition are 1. suspension,2. substrate, 3. fluid, and 4. bulk feeders. Figure 41.6
