FOOD AND DIGESTION

Why do you Eat? • Your body is full of chemical compounds. These chemicals are obtained through the food you eat. • There are 3 main reasons for eating:
For Energy • Most functions of your organism require energy. • Your food is the fuel that provides that necessary energy.
For Growth and Repair • When you grow, your body needs new cells. • Your body also needs to replace old or damaged cells.
To stay healthy • All the chemical reactions in your body require chemicals, coming from foods or digested foods.
8
NUTRITION • Nutrition, is the process by which organisms take in and utilize food material. • In terms of nutritional activities, two are the categories to consider: Autotrophs and Heterotrophs.
9
AUTOTROPHS
HETEROTROPHS
Organisms that produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
Process by which food is broken down by chemical and physical processes into suitable substances to be absorbed and assimilated into the body.
Organisms that are unable to produce their own food, and have to feed on other organisms.
Photosynthesis is a group of chemical reactions that use light to produce sugar and oxygen.
10
Types of Heterotrophs SAPROPHYTES feed on dead or decaying material using extracellular digestion, secreting digestive enzymes onto the food. Fungi and bacteria (decomposers) are members of this group. PARASITES feed on other living organisms, their hosts. The relationship between the parasite and the host is beneficial to the parasite but harmful to the host. HOLOZOIC FEEDERS include virtually all animals. They take their food into their bodies and digest it, with a specialized digestive system. These include herbivores, carnivores, detritivores. MUTUALISM is a form of nutrition where there is close association between two species where both partners benefit.
