Big Questions:How do the physiological systems of organisms help the organism maintain homeostasis?
How have the physiological systems of organisms been adapted to the constraints of the environments that organisms live in?
![Page 3: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What does an organism need to do?Stay alive (at least until reproduction)!
The physiological systems that an organism has are adapted to this purpose.

Generalized PlantBody Plan
What do each of the following do to maintain homeostasis?• root
root tip/root hairs• shoot (stem)
Nodes/internodesBuds
Terminal/apical/axillary budsFlower buds & flowers
• leavesmesophyll tissue/veins (vascular bundles)

How does the environment influence an organism’s physiology?
Tremendously!
Natural selection will tend to drive the adaptation of physiology to environmental contstraints.
This has resulted in a variety of mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis

Nutritional requirements• Animals are heterotrophs
– need to take in food– Why? fulfills 3 needs…
• fuel = chemical energy for production of ATP • raw materials = carbon source for synthesis• essential nutrients = animals cannot make
– elements (N, P, K, Fe, Na, K, Ca...), NAD, FAD, etc.

How do animals get their food?
filter (suspension) feeding substrate feeding
fluid feeding bulk feeding

Different diets; different lives• All animals eat other organisms
– Herbivores• eat mainly plants
– gorillas, cows, rabbits, snails
– Carnivores• eat other animals
– sharks, hawks, spiders, snakes– Omnivores
• eat animals & plants– cockroaches, bears, raccoons, humans– humans evolved as hunters, scavengers & gatherers
![Page 13: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Getting & Using Food• Ingest
– taking in food• Digest
– mechanical digestion• Breaking food into smaller pieces
– chemical digestion• breaking down food into small
molecules to be absorbed into cells• Absorb
– absorb across cell membrane• Diffusion, active transport
• Eliminate – undigested extracellular material
passes out of digestive system
intracellulardigestion

Digestive systems
Everybody’s got one!
![Page 15: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Human digestive systemAlimentary Canal
![Page 16: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Common processes & structures
• Movement & Control – peristalsis
• push food along by rhythmic waves of smooth muscle contraction in walls of digestive system
– sphincters• muscular ring-like valves, regulate the passage of
material between sections of digestive system• Accessory glands
– salivary glands, pancreas, liver & gall bladder• secrete digestive juices (enzymes & fluid)
![Page 17: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Swallowing (& not choking)
• Epiglottis – problem: breathe & swallow through same orifice– flap of cartilage closes trachea (windpipe) when swallowing– food travels down esophagus
• Esophagus – move food along to stomach by peristalsis
![Page 18: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ingestion• Mouth
– mechanical digestion• Teeth: breaking up food
– chemical digestion• saliva
– Amylase: enzyme digests starch
– Mucin: slippery protein (mucus). Protects lining of digestive system, lubricates food.
– Buffers: neutralize acid to prevent tooth decay
– anti-bacterial chemicals: lysozyme.

Stomach• Functions
– food storage: can stretch to fit ~2L food
– disinfect food• HCl = pH 2
–kills bacteria, breaks apart cells
– chemical digestion• Pepsin: enzyme breaks down
proteins–secreted as pepsinogen
»activated by HCl
But the stomach is made out of protein!What stops the stomach from digesting itself?mucus secreted by stomach cells protects stomach lining
Ooooooh!Zymogen!

• Used to think ulcers were caused by stress
– tried to control with antacids
• Now know ulcers caused by bacterial infection of stomach
– Helicobacter pylori– now cure with
antibiotics

Small intestine• Function
– major organ of digestion & absorption – chemical digestion: digestive enzymes– absorption through lining: over 6 meters!
• small intestine has huge surface area = 300m2 (~size of tennis court)
• Structure– 3 sections
• duodenum = most digestion• jejunum = absorption of nutrients & water• ileum = absorption of nutrients & water
![Page 26: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Duodenum • 1st section of small intestines
– acid food from stomach mixes with digestive juices from accessory glands:
pancreas liver gall bladder
![Page 27: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pancreas • Digestive enzymes
– peptidases• trypsin
– trypsinogen• chymotrypsin
– chimotrypsinogen• carboxypeptidase
– procarboxypeptidase– pancreatic amylase
• Buffers – reduces acidity
• alkaline solution rich in bicarbonate (HCO3-)
• buffers acidity of material from stomach
Explain how this is a molecular example of structure-function theme.

Liver • Digestive System Functions
– produces bile• stored in gallbladder until needed• breaks up fats
– act like detergents to breakup fats
Circulatory System Connectionbile contains colors from old red blood cells collected in liver =iron in RBC rusts & makes feces brown
![Page 29: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Large intestines (colon)• Function
– re-absorb water• use ~9 liters of water every
day in digestive juices• > 90% of water reabsorbed
– not enough water absorbed back to body
» diarrhea – too much water
absorbed back to body» constipation
![Page 35: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Flora of large intestines
• Living in the large intestine is a richflora of harmless, helpful bacteria– Escherichia coli (E. coli)
• a favorite research organism– bacteria produce vitamins
• vitamin K; biotin, folic acid & other B vitamins– generate gases
• by-product of bacterial metabolism
• methane, hydrogen sulfide

Animal NutritionVariations, Adaptations & Regulation
This obese mouse (L) has defect in gene which normally produces leptin, an appetite-regulating protein.
Many herbivores have diets deficient in mineral salts. Must find other sources = salt licks, chewing on bones

Energy storage
• In humans– glycogen storage
• glucose polymer– in liver & muscle cells
• If glycogen stores are full & caloric intake still exceeds caloric expenditure– excess stored as fat– synthesis pathway
from acetyl coA
Why isglycogen highly
branched?
![Page 41: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Balancing calorie needs with intake
• When fewer calories are taken in than are expended, fuel is taken out of storage deposits & oxidized (digested)– breakdown (digest) glycogen
from liver & muscle cells– metabolize (digest) fat Just do it!
![Page 42: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Vegetarian diets• Need to make sure you get enough protein
– 20 amino acids to make protein• humans can synthesize 12 of the amino acids • 8 have to be eaten = “essential amino acids”
– Grains (like corn) have 6 (missing 2)– Beans (like soybean & red beans) have 6 (missing different 2)
• mix beans & grainsfor complete group of amino acids– rice & beans– taco/tortilla & beans– tofu & rice– peanut butter & breadWhat no fish!
![Page 43: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Eating a balanced diet
• What happens if an animal’s diet is missing an essential nutrient?– deficiency diseases
• scurvy — vitamin C (collagen production)• rickets — vitamin D (calcium absorption)• blindness — vitamin A (retinol production)• anemia — vitamin B12 (energy production)• kwashiorkor — protein
![Page 44: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Different diets; different bodies• Adaptations of herbivore vs. carnivore
– specialization in teeth– length of digestive system– number & size of stomachs
![Page 45: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Teeth
• Carnivore– sharp ripping teeth– “canines”
• Herbivore– wide grinding
teeth– molars
• Omnivore– both kinds of teeth
![Page 46: Animal Nutrition](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/568165de550346895dd8f9bc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Length of digestive system• Carnivores
– short digestive system
• protein easier to digest than cellulose
• Herbivores & omnivores– long digestive
system• more time to
digest cellulose• symbiotic
bacteria in gut
Rememberthe rabbits,
George!

Symbiotic organisms
Ruminantsadditional mechanical digestion by chewing food multiple times after mixing it with enzymes
• How can cows digest cellulose efficiently?– symbiotic bacteria in stomachs help digest cellulose-rich
meals– rabbit vs. cow adaptation: eat feces vs. chew cud
