Quiz 7:
Highest score was one-question wrong. Congratulations !
Next-highest scores were 3 questions wrong…so I
decided to adjust by 3 questions rather than 1.
Obviously then, the highlighted score should be three
columns to the left of what you earned. And for that one
person…the resulting maximum score was 104.8%
The Quiz 7 average was 70.9%
The Course average of averages was 79.9%

What is Life?
Properties of Life
Cellular Structure: the unit of life, one or many
Metabolism: photosynthesis, respiration, fermentation,
digestion, gas exchange, secretion, excretion,
circulation--processing materials and energy
Growth: cell enlargement, cell number
Movement: intracellular, movement, locomotion
Reproduction: avoid extinction at death
Behavior: short term response to stimuli
Evolution: long term adaptation
Obtaining Food
Heterotrophs need to
feed on other organisms, their byproducts, or their dead bodies to survive
Heterotrophic Organisms
Herbivores: feed directly upon producers
Carnivores: feed directly upon herbivores or other carnivores
Omnivores: feed upon both producers and consumers
Parasites: feed upon living organisms causing disease
Saprobes: feed upon by-products and/or dead bodies
Food is required as fuel for respiration:
Cytosolic Glycolysis:
sugars to pyruvate
Mitochondrial Matrix Krebs Cycle:
pyruvate to CO2 and NADH
Mitochondrial Cristae ETS/Oxidative Phosphorylation:
NADH and O2 to H2O and ADP + Pi to ATP

Here is an invertebrate animal collecting plant byproducts.
Nectar is a good supply of carbohydrate…not much else
Pollen is a better supply of protein, vitamins, and minerals
Prokaryotes intake small organics from the surrounding medium…
by facilitated diffusion or active transport across cell membrane
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Digestive enzymes
secreted into the
medium convert
macromolecules
into subunits for
uptake

saprobe
The haustoria digest the cells they penetrate or siphon off
cellular components to support the fungal mycelium.
Fungal digestion is basically EXTERNAL.
•Digestive enzymes are secreted into the food
•Subunits are absorbed by diffusion and active transport
These fungi are more “active” in their feeding...
They trap and strangle their nematode prey:

gland cell secretes digestive enzymes to

and

digestive cell takes in smaller particles for
intracellular digestion
This is a combination of external and internal digestion
There is also a unique prey capture process in cnidarians
©1996 Norton Presentation Maker, W. W. Norton & Company
Cnidoblasts (cyan) contain nematocysts (yellow and blue)
This feature of cnidarians is perhaps most famous in the
scyphozoans (jellyfish) and hydrozoans (Portuguese-man-o-war)
Notice the
corrugations
to increase
the surface
area for
nutrient
absorption.

In flatworms, such as Dugesia, and like cnidarians,
the mouth is also the anus…the digestive system is
a blind pouch.

Karl: The instructions for Seed Germination work in Excel 2007
Seed Germination Worksheet (pg 1 and 2 only) is due today.
This cartoon shows a longitudinal slice of a chiton with the three
principal parts: foot (locomotion or attachment), visceral mass
(internal organs), and mantle (secretes valves).
The radula scrapes food from environmental surfaces.

As for most molluscs, chitons use a radula to scrape their food
from environmental surfaces. Below is a radula removed from
a chiton mouth. Bivalve molluscs are filter feeders, however.

Spider Anatomy: Not that different from a mollusc in many ways.

Insecta: the largest class out-numbers all other animals combined!
Just about every environment…except marine!
Entomology: the study of insects
Evolved in Devonian period 400 MYBP

A look inside:
Insects have the open circulation system found in chitons, etc.
The segmentation is not too far from the annelids.
Much of the internal system is similar to molluscs.
The major difference: spiracles on abdominal segments lead to
tracheal tubes inside for gas exchange

This female mosquito has a diverticulum to hold a blood meal
The animal lives for 4-5 days on this one meal
The protein is used for laying a “raft” of eggs in water
Most birds
have a crop
for holding
food to feed
offspring.
The gizzard
assists in
mechanical
grinding of
food.
The cloaca is
a single exit

•digestive
•urinary
•reproductive
systems

Blue whales and other baleen whales are filter feeders
You can see the baleen (teeth) of this whale that filter out krill

In most vertebrates, digestion begins with mastication using teeth
Juvenile teeth may be
replaced by adult teeth
©1996 Norton Presentation Maker, W. W. Norton & Company
Dentition may include cutting, tearing, and grinding teeth
Among vertebrates the dentition has functional significance:

4 perfect papers…Congratulations!
Average: 93.3%
Scores will be included in course grade on next quiz.
Get to work on creating your Z-test spreadsheet
This will compare any treatment with its control.
You will use the spreadsheet several times for this
term project…so get going on it.
Again, thanks to Karl for verifying that Office 2007
can use the instructions on page 5 of handout.

The movement of food in the digestive tube is by parastalsis

To increase the surface area of the absorptive regions of
the intestine, the lining is corrugated and lined with villi
©1996 Norton Presentation Maker, W. W. Norton & Company
An intestinal cross section reveals the increased surface area:
©1996 Norton Presentation Maker, W. W. Norton & Company
The villi of the intestine have good blood supply for nutrient uptake
Notice how the villus is coated with microvilli…for more area!

Can you

evolved?

The carnivorous adult has a shorter digestive system than
The herbivorous larva:
Horses cannot digest much of their food. Microbes are only in the
caecum. Horse manure makes good compost and food for fungi.
Equus caballus
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Frisian_horse.jpg/800px-Frisian_horse.jpg
Because their microbes are in their caecum too, rabbits
pass material through their digestive system twice.
Oryctolagus cuniculus
http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/go/pmartin/photos/vodka.jpg
In ruminants, the
microbe culture is
mixed with masticated
food in the rumen.
The mixture is
masticated repeatedly
(chewing the cud)
from this rumen to
assist fermentation…
especially hydrolysis
of cellulose.
Then the mixture
passes to the rest of
the digestive system
Bos taurus

Ruminant animals use bacteria and archaeons to assist digestion

The herbivorous
tropical bird, the
hoatzin, uses a
muscular crop for its
fermentation vat.
It can represent 20%
of the bird’s total
weight!
It is a poor flier.
Its young falling, into
swamps below, crawl
back up into the nest
using claws on the
wings (like dinosaurs).

making fermentation of milk products only by bacteria in the large
intestine result in cramps, gas, and diarrhea.
