Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 41 Animal Nutrition Chapter 41 relates the energetic and nutritional needs of animals with the evolutionary adaptations that optimize nutrient ingestion, digestion, absorption, and distribution of nutrients. The locations and specializations of organs and tissues along the gastrointestinal tract are detailed, as are the regulatory mechanisms that coordinate functions. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) In a well-fed human eating a Western diet, the richest source of stored chemical energy in the body is A) fat in adipose tissue. B) glucose in the blood. C) protein in muscle cells. D) glycogen in muscle cells. E) calcium phosphate in bone. Answer: A Topic: Concept 41.1 Skill: Knowledge/Comprehension

Chapter Forty-Two: Circulation and Gas Exchange Preface All animals must exchange substances with the environment. Unicellular animals may directly exchange with the environment. Nutrients and oxygen enter through the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm while carbon dioxide and metabolic by-products exit from the cytoplasm through the plasma membrane. Multicellular organisms cannot exchange material at the cellular level and therefore rely on specialized systems that carry out exchange with the environment and transport the material from the sites of exchange to the rest of the body. Concept One: Circulatory systems link exchange surfaces with cells throughout the body

Chapter Forty-One: Animal Nutrition Preface Nutrition: Food being taken in , taken apart, and taken up (Example: Bear chews skin muscles and other part of fish, breaking it down with acid and enzymes in digestive system and finally absorbing it into small molecules in its body) Animals eat other organisms (dead or alive) for energy and also the organic molecules used to assemble new molecules, cells and tissues. There are different types of animal diets; Herbivores: Animals that dine on mainly plants and algae (cattle, sea slugs, termites) Carnivores: Animals that dine on other animals (sharks, hawks,spiders) Omnivores: Animals which consume both plants and animals regularly (humans, crows, and cockroaches)

Faith Eno Daphnia lab report Abstract The importance of this experiment is to better understand how the water flea reacts to the solutions alcohol and caffeine. The experiment begins with taking the dapnia and securing it onto a slide. A team of two people where one will count the heart beats and one keep track of time will measure the BPM of the Daphnia throughout. The control is the first to be measured in beats per minute with brief breaks to change out the water. Then the variables alcohol, caffeine, and the experimental solution are measured with brief breaks to change out the concentrations of the solutions (alcohol 1%, 3%, and %5 ;Caffeine 1% and 2%) rest the water flea in water.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - Transfers nutrients, salts, H2O and vitamins in food from external to internal environment Anatomy: Digestive tract (gastrointestinal (GI) tract) Mouth -> Pharynx -> Esophagus -> Stomach -> Small intestine -> Large intestine -> Anus DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Digestive System: Mouth: - teeth = mastication (incisors, canines, molars) -3 pairs salivary glands secrete saliva: 1) moistens and lubricates food 2) amylase DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Digestive System Organs Pharynx and Esophagus - transport food and water to stomach - swallowing reflex: epiglottis As food approaches stomach, sphincter relaxes so food can go into stomach Sphincter closes -> Prevents acid reflux DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The Writing Lab ? D204d http://bellevuecollege.edu/asc/writing 425-564-2200 1 How to Write an Argumentative Essay An argumentative essay uses reasoning and evidence?not emotion?to take a definitive stand on a controversial or debatable issue. The essay explores two sides of a topic and proves why one side or position is the best. The First Steps Choose a specific issue to discuss. Some debatable issues cover a wide range of topics. For example, ?legalizing drugs? is too broad a subject because topics within that issue include legalizing marijuana, the effectiveness of the FDA, or whether a painkiller made in Europe should be allowed into the US. Any of these could be the sole focus of an argumentative paper.
