Animals are Heterotrophs Plants are Autotrophs
• Heterotrophs are incapable of producing their own energy as plants do via photosynthesis
• Heterotrophs must consume food that contains energy, and both organic and inorganic chemical nutrients

Some Animals obtain their food symbiotically
• Corals, and some sponges and jellyfish contain symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients
• Thermal vent worms (Annelida: Vestimentifera) obtain most of their nutrients from symbiotic bacteria in exchange for H2S and CO2 that they absorb from the water
• Some beetles (ambrosia) transport, farm, and consume fungi to obtain most of their nutrients and energy
• No animals can obtain all their energy without transfer from or consumption of other organisms

• For any animal, a nutritionally adequate diet is essential for homeostasis, a steady-state balance in body functions.– A balanced diet provides fuel for cellular work and the
materials needed to construct organic molecules.
•A nutritionally adequate diet satisfies three needs:–fuel (chemical energy) for all the cellular work of the body;
–the organic raw materials animals use in biosynthesis (carbon skeletons to make many of their own molecules);
–essential nutrients, substances that the animals cannot make foritself from any raw material and therefore must obtain in food in prefabricated form.
![Page 6: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Homeostatic mechanisms manage an animal’s fuel
• The flow of food energy into and out of an animal can be viewed as a “budget,” with the production of ATP accounting for the largest fraction by far of the energy budget of most animals.– ATP powers basal or resting metabolism, as well as
activity, and, in endothermic animals, temperature regulation. However, most invertebrates are ectothermic – their body temperatures conform to the ambient temperature of their environment
![Page 7: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Nearly all ATP is derived from oxidation of organic fuel molecules - carbohydrates, proteins, and fats - in cellular respiration.– The monomers of any of these substances can be
used as fuel, though priority is usually given to carbohydrates and fats.
– Fats are especially rich in energy, containing twice the energy of an equal amount of carbohydrate or protein.
•When an animal takes in more calories than it needs to produce ATP, the excess can be used for biosynthesis.
–This biosynthesis can be used to grow in size or for reproduction, or can be stored in energy depots.
![Page 8: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An animal’s diet must supply essential nutrients and carbon skeletons for
biosynthesis• In addition to fuel for ATP production, an
animal’s diet must supply all the raw materials for biosynthesis.– This requires organic precursors (carbon skeletons)
from its food.– Given a source of organic carbon (such as sugar) and
a source of organic nitrogen (usually in amino acids from the digestion of proteins), animals can fabricate a great variety of organic molecules - carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
![Page 9: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Besides fuel and carbon skeletons, an animal’s diet must also supply essential nutrients.– These are materials that must be obtained in
preassembled form because the animal’s cells cannot make them from any raw material.
– Some materials are essential for all animals, but others are needed only by certain species.• For example, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential
nutrient for humans and other primates, guinea pigs, and some birds and snakes, but not for most other animals.
![Page 10: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Animals require 20 amino acids to make proteins.
• Most animals can synthesize half of these if their diet includes organic nitrogen.
• Essential amino acids must be obtained from food in prefabricated form.– Eight amino acids are essential in the adult human
with a ninth, histidine, essential for infants.– The same amino acids are essential for most
animals.
![Page 11: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• While animals can synthesize most of the fatty acids they need, they cannot synthesize essential fatty acids.– These are certain unsaturated fatty acids, including
linoleic acids required by humans.– Most diets furnish ample quantities of essential fatty
acids, and thus deficiencies are rare.
![Page 12: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Minerals are simple inorganic nutrients, usually required in small amounts.– Mineral requirements vary with animal species.– Humans and other vertebrates require relatively
large quantities of calcium and phosphorus for the construction and maintenance of bone among other uses.
– Iron is a component of the cytochromes that function in cellular respiration and of hemoglobin, the oxygen binding protein of red blood cells.
![Page 13: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The four main stages of food processing are ingestion, digestion, absorption, and
elimination• Ingestion, the act of eating, is only the first stage
of food processing.– Food is “packaged” in bulk form and contains very
complex arrays of molecules, including large polymers and various substances that may be difficult to process or may even be toxic.
![Page 14: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Animals cannot use macromolecules like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the form of starch or other polysaccharides.– First, polymers are too large to pass through
membranes and enter the cells of the animal.– Second, the macromolecules that make up an
animal are not identical to those of its food.• In building their macromolecules, however, all organisms
use common monomers.• For example, soybeans, fruit flies, and humans all
assemble their proteins from the same 20 amino acids.
![Page 15: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Digestion, the second stage of food processing, is the process of breaking food down into molecules small enough for the body to absorb.– Digestion cleaves macromolecules into their
component monomers, which the animal then uses to make its own molecules or as fuel for ATP production.• Polysaccharides and disaccharides are split into simple
sugars.• Fats are digested to glycerol and fatty acids.• Proteins are broken down into amino acids.• Nucleic acids are cleaved into nucleotides.
![Page 16: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Chemical digestion is usually preceded by mechanical fragmentation of the food - by chewing, for instance.– Breaking food into smaller pieces increases the
surface area exposed to digestive juices containing hydrolytic enzymes.
•After the food is digested, the animal’s cells take up small molecules such as amino acids and simple sugars from the digestive compartment, a process called absorption.
•During elimination, undigested material passes out of the digestive compartment.
![Page 17: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Digestion occurs in specialized compartments
• To avoid digesting their own cells and tissues, most organisms conduct digestion in specialized compartments.
• The simplest digestive compartments are food vacuoles, organelles in which hydrolytic enzymes break down food without digesting the cell’s own cytoplasm, a process termed intracellular digestion.– This is the sole digestive strategy in heterotrophic
protists and in sponges, the only animal that digests food this way.
![Page 18: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
(1) Heterotrophic protists engulf their food by phagocytosis or pinocytosis and (2) digest their meals in food vacuoles.
(3) Newly formed vacuoles are carried around the cell (4) until they fuse with lysosomes, which are organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes.
(5) Later, the vacuole fuses with an anal pore and its contents are eliminated.
![Page 19: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• In most animals, at least some hydrolysis occurs by extracellular digestion, the breakdown of food outside cells.– Extracellular digestion occurs within compartments
that are continuous with the outside of the animal’s body.
– This enables organisms to devour much larger prey than can be ingested by phagocytosis and digested intracellularly.
![Page 20: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Many animals with simple body plans, such as cnidarians and flatworms, have digestive sacs with single openings, called gastrovascular cavities.– For example, a hydra captures its prey with
nematocysts and stuffs the prey through the mouth into the gastrovascular cavity.• The prey is then partially digested by enzymes secreted by
gastrodermal cells.
– These cells absorb food particles and most of the actual hydrolysis of macromolecules occur intracellularly.
– Undigested materials are eliminated through the mouth.
![Page 21: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• In contrast to cnidarians and flatworms, most animals have complete digestive tracts oralimentary canals with a mouth, digestive tube, and an anus.– Because food moves in one direction, the tube can
be organized into special regions that carry out digestion and nutrient absorption in a stepwise fashion.
![Page 23: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Food ingested through the mouth and pharynx passes through an esophagus that leads to a crop, gizzard, or stomach, depending on the species.– Crops and stomachs usually serve as food storage
organs, although some digestion occurs there too.– Gizzards grind and fragment food.– In the intestine, digestive enzymes hydrolyze the food
molecules, and nutrients are absorbed across the lining of the tube into the blood.
– Undigested wastes are eliminated through the anus.• This system enables organisms to ingest
additional food before earlier meals are completely digested.

Some animals use external digestion for the initial stages of digestion
• Some starfish (Echinodermata) evert their stomachs out of their mouths to partially digest prey before retracting their stomachs back into their bodies
• Spiders inject digestive enzymes into the bodies of their prey before lapping up the resulting broth of partially digested prey tissues
![Page 26: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Animals feed on a variety of biological materials
• Animals fit into one of several dietary categories. – Herbivores, such as butterflies and moths, and many snails,
eat mainly autotrophs (plants, algae).– Carnivores, such as wasps, jellyfish, spiders, and arrow
worms (Chaetognatha), eat other animals.– Omnivores, such as cockroaches, crabs, sponges, and
Annelida, consume animal and plant or algal matter.– Detritivores, such as earth worms eat dead plant material– Scavengers, such some beetles (Dermestidae) consume the
carcasses of dead animals – Fungivores, such as some beetles and flies consume fungi– Coprohages, such as some beetles and flies consume dung

Animals use a diverse variety of adaptations for feeding
• The mechanisms by which animals ingest food are highly variable.– Many aquatic animals, such as clams, are suspension-
feeders or filter-feeders that sift small food particles from the water.
– Many marine and aquatic animals, such as snails, limpets, and caddisflies are surface-feeders or grazers that consume bacteria, algae, and fungi on rocks, dead plant material, and other substrates
![Page 30: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Polychaeta – fan worm – a filter feeder
![Page 31: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Deposit-feeders, like earthworms, eat their way through dirt or sediments and extract partially decayed organic material consumed along with the soil or sediments.
• Internal-feeders live in their food source, eating their way through the food.– For example, maggots
burrow into animal carcasses and leaf miners tunnel through the interior of leaves.
![Page 32: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Fluid-feeders make their living sucking nutrient-rich fluids from a living host and are considered parasites.– Mosquitoes and leaches suck blood from animals.– Aphids tap the phloem sap of plants.– Bees are fluid-feeders that inadvertently aid plants,
by transferring pollen as they move from flower to flower to obtain nectar.

Predators use different tactics to obtain prey
• Sit and wait predators such as crab spiders, ambush bugs, corals, ant-lions and anemones wait for their prey to stumble upon them rather that actively hunting for prey
• Active foraging predators such as wasps, ants, starfish, and some snails, seek out and subdue prey
![Page 34: Food for energy and macromolecules • Water • Shelter from ...user · symbiotic algae that photosynthesize and transfer energy to their coral hosts in exchange for certain nutrients](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edae12309ac2c67fa687516/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Parasites may be internal, external, or “parasitoids”
• Many parasites such as tapeworms (Cestoda), some flies (Hippoboscidae, Sarcophagidae) live within their hosts tissues thus solving the need for food and shelter simultaneously
• Other parasites are merely attached to the surface of the host such as ticks (Acarina) and lice (Hexapoda: Anoplura and Mallophaga)
• Among parasitic wasps and flies, the juvenile lives on or in the host body, but kills the host when the parasite matures. Parasites that kill their hosts are called “parasitoids”

Water
• Most invertebrates obtain water from their aquatic environment, their food, or by metabolic production of water
• However, terrestrial invertebrates in desert environments may also collect water from dew, or be particularly careful not to lose water

Shelter
• Lobseter feed from burrows• Hermit crabs occupy empty sheels of
Gastropod molluscs• Shrimp shelter in algal mats and grass beds
and forage onto mud flats and snady sesbottoms at night
• Many Anellid worms build protective tubes or burrows

Space
• Many species of intertidal marine invertebrates compete for space to settle and attach to the substrate (barnacles, mussels, etc.)
• Settlement of larval invertebrates can be inhibited by the presence of chemical cues produced by competing or predatory species, and enhanced by cues produced by conspecifics

Acquiring Thermal Energy by Basking
• Some insects bask to increase their body temperature so that they can be active even when air temperatures are low
• Some insects sit in flowers which act like parabolic reflectors concentrating reflected sunlight on the insect and increasing its body temperature

Chemicals for signaling and defense
• Called “Pharmacophagy”– Observed in some adult Lepidoptera (moths
and butterflies)– Adult males which are non feeding collect
pyrrolizidine alkaloids for sex attractants and larval defense
– Alkaloids passed to female with the spermatophore

Summary
• Invertebrate acquire resources in a wide variety of ways
• Food , followed by enemy-free space are the most important resources
• Even within groups of related animals there is considerable variety of feeding habits
