FEEDING MECHANISM OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS Flashcards
(21 cards)
4 feeding mechanism of animals
- substrate-feeders
- filter-feeders
- fluid-feeders
- bulk-feeders
Animals live on the source of their food and eat through it.
substrate-feeders
Aquatic animals strain the food particles from the water.
filter-feeders
Animals suck fluid containing nutrients from another animals.
fluid-feeders
Animals break down and swallow large amount of food.
bulk-feeders
animal nutrition required nutrients
carbohydrates
fats
proteins
animal nutrition essential nutrients
amino acids
fatty acids
vitamins
minerals
The process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy in order for the plant to make their own food.
photosynthesis
3 Plant Parts Involved in Photosynthesis
- roots
- leaves
- chloroplast
It absorbs and transports water and nutrients from the soil to the rest of the plant.
roots
The part of the plant where photosynthesis takes place.
leaves
contain chlorophyll that traps sunlight.
chloroplasts
Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide happens inside the stomata.

7 Feeding Mechanism of Carnivorous Plants
- trapping mechanism
- pitcher plant
- venus flytrap
- cobra lily
- yellow pitcher plant
- sundew
- monkey cup
Insect-eating plants capture and digest their preys through pitfalls and traps.
trapping mechanism
Gives a sweet odor to make their prey fall into the pitcher
pitcher plant
Closes down and traps their prey when touched
venus flytrap
Confuses their prey when they enter its translucent window in the leaf.
cobra lily
Collects rainwater to attract their prey.
yellow pitcher plant
Traps its prey using its sticky substance found in their leaves.
sundew
Traps and feed on their prey inside their cups.
monkey cup
