Heterotrophic Nutrition
Heterotrophic Nutrition• Organisms that obtain food are
heterotrophs• Ingestion- Taking in food• Digestion- Breaking down food
2 Types:1. Intracellular digestion- digestion inside a single cell (unicellular organisms)2. Extracellular digestion- digestion within a system (multi-cellular organisms). Ex) Inside the stomach and small intestine
• Egestion- Removal of undigested food (solid wastes)
Mechanical vs. Chemical Digestion
• Mechanical Digestion- Physical breakdown (teeth cut, tear, grind, and chew food in mouth)– Also occurs in stomach– provides large surface area for chemical digestion!
• Chemical Digestion a.k.a Enzymatic Hydrolysis- Chemical breakdown with water and enzymes.With enzymes, organic compounds like carbs, proteins, and lipids are broken into their USABLE NUTRIENTS!
Human Nutrition• Nutrition- Those activities by which
organisms obtain and process nutrients
• Nutrients- Usable parts of food• Nutrients Absorbed without digestion:
VitaminsMineralsWater
Six Main Nutrients
Absorbed without digestion: Water
Vitamins Minerals
Absorbed with digestion:
Carbs. glucose
Proteins amino acids Lipids
glycerol & fatty acids
Roughage- Fiber, indigestible food that contains celluloseEx) fruits, vegetables, whole grains
The Path of Food
Mouth – Salivary amylase – Carbohydrate digestion– Mechanical & chemical digestion
Esophagus –No digestion–Peristalsis starts-involuntary muscle contractions push food down
Stomach –Muscular–Acidic gastric juice–Protein digestion–Mechanical & Chemical
Small intestine– Chemical digestion– Carbs, Proteins & Lipids– Nutrient Absorption– Contain villi– Villi- Contain cappilaries, increase surface area
The Intestines
Large IntestineNo digestion hereWater is reabsorbed
Accessory OrgansFood does not pass through
• Liver- makes bile to emulsify fats/lipids
• Gall Bladder- Stores bile
• Pancreas- provides the small intestine with protease, lipase, amylase (enzymes)
• What kind of digestion does this organism perform?
• What substance produced by the liver performs emulsification?
• Is emulsification mechanical or chemical digestion?
• Where does all nutrient absorption occur?
• Name the finger-like projections surrounded by capillaries found in the Sm. Intestine?
• Name the process occuring here in the esophagus.
• Does digestion occur here?
• Which organ produces acidic gastric juice?
• What compound is broken down there?
Malfunctions of the Digestive System
HeartburnGastric juice enters esophagusTreat with medicine
GallstonesHardened Cholesterol
Ulcersopen sores inside of stomach
Treated with antacids, diet, surgery.
AppendicitisInflammation of Appendix.
Can be removed
• Constipation- Difficulty with egestion because too much water is reabsorbed by L.I.
• Diarrhea- Causes dehydration, not enough water is reabsorbed by L.I.
