2. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Overview: The Need to Feed Every meal reminds us that we are heterotrophs, dependent on a regular supply of food 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

3. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings An adequate diet must satisfy three needs: – Fuel for all cellular work – Organic raw materials for biosynthesis – Essential nutrients, substances that the animal cannot make for itself Main feeding mechanisms: suspension feeding, substrate feeding, fluid feeding, bulk feeding

7. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Glucose Regulation as an Example of Homeostasis Animals store excess calories as glycogen in the liver and muscles and as fat Glucose is a major fuel for cells Hormones regulate glucose metabolism When fewer calories are taken in than are expended, fuel is taken from storage and oxidized

8. LE 41-3 STIMULUS: Blood glucose level rises after eating. STIMULUS: Blood glucose level drops below set point. Homeostasis: 90 mg glucose/ 100 mL blood

12. LE 41-5 Leptin PYY Insulin Ghrelin

13. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

14. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Obesity and Evolution The problem of maintaining weight partly stems from our evolutionary past, when fat hoarding was a means of survival

15. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 41.2: An animal’s diet must supply carbon skeletons and essential nutrients An animal must obtain carbon skeletons from its food to build complex molecules A malnourished animal is missing one or more essential nutrients in its diet

16. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Essential Amino Acids Animals require 20 amino acids and can synthesize about half from molecules in their diet Essential amino acids, must be obtained from food in preassembled form Malnutrition called protein deficiency occurs when a diet doesn’t contain all needed amino acids

20. Vitamins Vitamins are organic molecules required in the diet in small amounts 13 vitamins essential to humans have been identified Vitamins are grouped into two categories: fat- soluble and water-soluble

21. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

23. Minerals Minerals are simple inorganic nutrients, usually required in small amounts

24. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

25. Concept 41.3: The main stages of food processing are ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination Ingestion Digestion Absorption Elimination

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 41.4: Each organ of the mammalian digestive system has specialized food-processing functions The mammalian digestive system consists of an alimentary canal and accessory glands that secrete digestive juices through ducts Mammalian accessory glands are the salivary glands, the pancreas, the liver, and the gallbladder Food is pushed along by peristalsis, rhythmic contractions of muscles in the wall of the canal

34. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Oral Cavity, Pharynx, and Esophagus In the oral cavity, food is lubricated and digestion begins Teeth chew food into smaller particles that are exposed to salivary amylase, initiating breakdown of glucose polymers

36. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Stomach The stomach stores food and secretes gastric juice, which converts a meal to acid chyme Gastric juice is made up of hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin Pepsin is secreted as inactive pepsinogen; pepsin is activated when mixed with hydrochloric acid in the stomach Mucus protects the stomach lining from gastric juice

37. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Pepsinogen Pepsin HCl

38. LE 41-17 Esophagus Cardiac orifice Pyloric sphincter Small intestine Folds of epithelial tissue Stomach Epithelium Pepsin (active enzyme) Pepsinogen HCl Pepsinogen and HCl are secreted into the lumen of the stomach. HCl converts pepsinogen to pepsin. Pepsin then activates more pepsinogen, starting a chain reaction. Pepsin begins the chemical digestion of proteins.
