New cards
the energy stored food is required for the vital activities of any living organism such us..
moving,growth,development,repair of worn - out tissues,reproduction and synthesis of new protoplasm of our cells
2
New cards
all living organisms require food because?
it contains the needed energy and nutrient essential to maintain life.

15
New cards
Animals with relatively simple body
plans typically have a digestive
compartment with a single opening

16
New cards
This pouch, called a ______

functions
in digestion as well as in the
distribution of nutrients throughout
the body
gastrovascular cavity,
17
New cards
Higher forms of animals developed
some specialization and evolved into
having more complex alimentary canal
that contains one-way tubes with
different openings for the mouth and
anus
Complete Digestion
18
New cards
is
a mechanism in which
the organism uses their
body parts to move
water toward a feeding
structure to sift through
the food suspended in
water
Suspension Feeding
19
New cards
are
animals that live in or on
their food source. This leaf
miner cater- pillar, the
larva of a moth, is eating
through the soft tissue of
an oak leaf, leaving a dark
trail of feces in its wake.
Other sub- strate feeders
include maggots (fly
larvae), which burrow
Substrate Feeding
20
New cards
…suck nutrient-rich fluid from a living host. This tsetse fly has pierced the skin of its human host with hollow, needle- like mouthparts and is consuming a blood meal. Similarly, aphids are fluid feeders that tap the phloem sap of plants. In contrast to such parasites, some fluid feeders actually benefit their hosts.

down into small molecules that the
body can use to nourish the cells
DIGESTION
23
New cards
Two Phases of Digestion
Mechanical Phase

Chemical Phase
24
New cards
…the food is broken down into small pieces by the process of chewing or mastication, lubricated and softened by the action of the digestive juices such as the saliva in the mouth and the gastric juice in the stomach
Mechanical Phase
25
New cards
the food is acted upon by chemical substances called enzymes that are secreted together with the digestive juices. These enzymes act on food and change them into their simplest equivalents which the body cells utilize.
Chemical Phase
