Chapter 41 Flashcards
an animals diet must satisfy these three things:
- chemical energy: fuel to power body
- organic molecules: raw nutrients to build an animals own molecules
- essental nutrients: substances the animal cannot make for itself
food energy is used to produce ____________ which powers the activities of cells and ultimately entire organisms
ATP
ATP is usually maintained from ________________ and stored or burned during __________________
carbohydrates or lipids
cellular respiration
macromolecules are __________________ and used as raw materials needed for animals own macromolecules
dissassembled
_______________ is the maintance growth and reproduction that occurs when macromolecules are dissassembled and reassembled
biosynthesis
________________ is a molecule that obtained from carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
carbon
___________________________ is a molecule obtained from proteins and nucleic acids
nitrogen
4 certain nutrients must be obtained in preassembled form because an animal cannot manufacture them from raw materials
- essential amino acids
- esssential fatty acids
- vitamins
