•In order to maintain essential life processes
•To transform the chemical energy in the environment into electrical, mechanical, osmotic, and other forms of chemical energy.
•Digestion is a sequence of events that result in ever finer degradation of the foodstuffs until it is broken into monomers that are absorbed into the body and reassembled as needed into host structures.

Dietary Requirements 營養需求
•Insects require basically the same nutrients as most other animals: a source of carbon , essential amino acids , essential fatty acids , inorganic salts , vitamins and a source of sterol. Water is also an essential nutrient.
•Essential Nutrients are nutrients that require a diet source since they cannot be synthesized from other dietary nutrients or metabolic precursors.

•The process of hydrolytically breaking large macromolecules into their component subunits suitable for absorption into cells.
•The sources of transformed energy include the ingested food that contains complex carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
•Foods broken down in the alimentary tract to the simpler components and absorbed through the wall of the midgut into the hemolymph.
![Page 4: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
•The circulatory system then transports these components to all the cells of the body, which break them down even further and capture the chemical energy they contain.
•Each cell may use the components immediately or they may be used to synthesize reserves for later use.
•These processes of food breakdown, utilization, and storage are strikingly similar in almost living things.
•Insects show diverse morphologies of their digestive systems because of their diverse diets. Generally, the higher the protein content, the shorter the intestine; the lower the protein content, the longer the intestine.
![Page 5: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
•The metabolic systems of only a small number of insect species have been examined, most often cockroaches, blow flies, fruit flies, or caterpillars.
•The evidence for the existence of complete metabolic pathways in insects has often been based on the presence of certain key enzymes, reaction end products, or intermediates.
•The determination of metabolic pathways in insects is complicated by the presence of symbiotic microorganisms that may provide some of the steps missing in the insect.
•This symbiotic contribution makes it difficult to establish whether the metabolic pathways are actually present in the insect system.

Crop 嗉囊 - Enlarged area for food storage. Food storage May be folded, or modified into a lateral diverticulum ( 分枝 盲囊 )in fluid feeders. The secretion and absorption do not occur in the crop. Because the intima limitation, but crop of Periplaneta to be permeable to free fatty acid. Digestion Digestion can occur because salivary enzymes pass back with the food and midgut enzymes are regurgitated forward. The proventricular valve prevents the movement of solid food, but not the regurgitation of fluids.

Goblet cells occur in the midgut of Lepidoptera and Trichoptera. They secrete K+ from the hemolymph into the lumen of the intestine.
They are especially important in Lepidoptera larvae where the midgut is alkaline. This is important because both the toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis and baculovirus are active in lepidopteran larvae because of the alkalinity (pH 10) of the midgut.
Goblet cells may also assist in excreting excess K+ from the hemolymph. They may also participate in storage excretion of metals.

Peritrophic membrane: peritrophic matrix (PM) Consists of chitin microfibrils, proteins, carbohydrates PM consist of chitin and proteins, is secreted by the midgut cells, function as a wall to separate the food from midgut epithelium, and they does not invaginate into the cecae. Composition - chitin and protein: 3.7-12.9% chitin; 21–47 % protein. Insects secrete no mucous and the PM is chitin which is composed of acetylglucosamine -a mucopolysaccharide. Biochemically mucopolysaccha-rides and mucoprotein and chito-protein are closely related.

Types of PM formation
Type I: PM secret from whole cells of midgut
Orthoptera, Odonata, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera Ephemeroptera, Lepidoptera larvae
This type is a delamination from the whole surface of the midgut.
Consists of concentric lamellae - separate thin sheets elaborated from the cell surface - a chitin containing material. Wasp and bee: 1/2 doz. membrane/day several layers, one inside the other.
In Periplaneta, the PM consists of three layers of fibrils deposited at 60º to 90º to each other. The fibrils are formed into a network around the microvilli of the epithelium.
![Page 43: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Type II: anterior region cells of the midgut
Diptera, Dermaptera
Diptera and some other orders, the PM is secreted as a viscous fluid at the anterior end of the midgut. This fluid is forced through a mold press from by the stomodeal invagination and the wall of the midgut so that its forms a tube which becomes the membrane. This membrane is formed continuously at a rate of 6 mm/h in Eristalis (Diptera). Usually larmina form is present.

Cellulose digestion - requires two enzymes a celllulase to degrade cellulose to cellobiose (-1,4-glucoglucoside) and a hemi-cellulase (cellobiase) to degrade cellobiose to glucose.
Most insects are able to use only the cell contents of plants, not the cell walls, some spp. can degrade breakdown products of plant cell walls such as: lignans, hemicellulose and cellobiose. Anobiidae, Cerambycidae and Ctenolepisma (silverfish) possess a cellulase and digest plant parts completely.

Phytophagous insects
Endo-β-1,4-glucanases: β-1,4-glucosidic bonds in the cellulose chain
Exo-β-1,4-glucanases: cleave cellobioise residues from end of the chain β-glucosidase: break down cellobioise into glucose

Produced by endosymbiotic microorganism: termites, wood roaches
In termites a close symbiotic relationship: a flagellate resides in an expansion of the hindgut and forms up to 30% of live wt. of the insect. They digest cellulose to glucose which the flagellates convert to acetic acid and the acetic acid is used by the termite instead of glucose. In termites, the protozoa are lost when the intima of the hindgut is molted but proctodeal feeding (feeding on wood bits and flagellates in the feces) re-infects the termite.
In Cryptocercus glucose is released from the protozoa and used directly by the host after passing forward to the midgut. Protozoa here move into the space between the hindgut epithelial cells and the cuticle after apolysis. The flagellates are left in the new hindgut lumen after ecdysis.

Carbohydrates 醣類
Primarily for energy There are no specific carbohydrate requirementsMost hexoses, oligosaccharides and sugar alcohols are suitable, e.g. sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, trehalose, lactose, and sorbitol.Most pentose sugars are unsatisfactory. Adult Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera live well on carbohydrates alone. They survive and are active on carbohydrate diets, but usually require protein to stimulate reproduction.
![Page 123: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Fatty Acids 脂肪酸
Used for energy and cell structureDietary lipid is not required since high amounts of fat are formed from carbohydrates. Most insects do not require dietary PUFAs. Lepidoptera spp. may need linoleic acid ( 亞油酸 ) and linolenic acids( 亞麻酸 ) for proper wing formation, or as slow larval growth andpupal failure. Either cholesterol (zoophagous) or sitosterol (phytophagous) must be supplied. Sitosterol, a plant sterol, is converted to cholesterol.
![Page 124: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Amino Acids 胺基酸 Used for building proteins in the body
The amino acids are derived from the proteins consumed by the insect. Suitability of a protein is based on its amino acid composition.
The ten essential amino acids are required by insects: (T.T. Hallim, VP) tryptophan, threonine, histidine, arginine, lysine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, and phenylalanine
![Page 125: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
An insect spp. may be adapted to its protein source. > Pink bollworm grows best on an artificial diet with an amino acid composition comparable to cotton, as contrasted with an artificial diet made with casein (milk sugar). > Culex pipiens is a bird feeder that also feeds on humans. C. pipiens lays twice as many eggs when fed on bird blood as human blood. Some adult insects obtain their protein from the larva. > Saturniid silkmoths have no mouthparts and obtain all the protein needed for eggs from larval feeding.
![Page 126: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
> Autogenous mosquitoes make eggs without taking a blood meal by using protein stored in the fat body from the larva. Diptera and some other insects require protein feeding to initiate reproduction. This is and action on the endocrine system to stimulate JH production or EDNH.
Excess protein can be toxic to due accumulation of excess nitrogenous wastes.

Vitamins 維他命
Most of these serve as cofactors for enzymes in general metabolic processes found in all animals. Needs similar to those of vertebrates.
![Page 128: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
◎The water soluble vitamins - ( 維生素 B 群 ): thiamine( 硫胺素 ), riboflavin( 核黃素 )
, nicotinic acid( 菸鹼酸 ), pantothenic acid( 泛酸 ), biotin( 生物素 ), and choline( 膽素 ) are required. Folic acid( 葉酸 ), pyridoxine, inositol( 肌醇 ), and carnitine( 肉鹼 ) may be required.
- Vitamin C is present in quantity in the tissues of insects, a
nd is synthesized by the insects, although some species grow faster with vitamin C in the diet. > Drosophila, Tribolium and cockroaches do not require di
etary vitamin C. > Periplaneta fat body homogenates can synthesize vitamin
C from glucose or fructose.

Minerals 礦物質
Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cl, P, Fe, Cu, I, Mn, Co, Zn, Ni, Minerals are used for: Osmotic regulationEnzyme cofactors
![Page 131: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Vertebrate salt mixtures are often used as a source of minerals for insect diets, but they are often imbalanced for insects. For phytophagous insects, K levels are often too low in vertebrate saltmixtures and elevation of the K provides better survival. Plants are high in K, and K is often higher in the blood of phytophagous insects than it is in vertebrate blood or in zoophagous insect spp.

Dietary Factors of Unknown Importance
Symbiotes - casual to obligate Symbiotes 共生 : two organisms of different species that live in intimate association with each other. Mutualists 互利共生 - advantage of bothCommensals 片利共生 - one species (usually the smaller) benefits but the other, the host, does not.Parasites 寄生 - a species that receives nourishment from its host.Phoresis 傳運 - the host transports the symbiont.

Nutrient reserves - nutrients are passed from one growth stage to the next: larva to larva, larva to adult via pupa Phagostimulants - nutritionally adequate diet but unpalatable. Nutritional state of the organism: Sex - female reproductive stage Development - Larva have uniform needs for growth Adults have wide amino acid requirements for reproduction or for maintenance
![Page 134: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Nutrition of the parent - transovarial passage of nutrients Nutrient balance - vitamin requirements dictated by protein consumption. Balance of essential nutrients may be of importance since an organism may eliminate excessive amounts of nutrients until the proper balance is restored. Excess nutrients may expend energy for growth or other processes andmay actually have inhibitory effects.

Feeding Presence of secondary plant compounds that serve as phagostimulants many without nutrient value.Absence of physical barriers Passiflora have hooked trichomes that puncture Heliconius larvae prolegs and cause death by bleeding. Counter Measure: An Ithomiid butterfly larva is gregarious and spins a silk scaffold over the trichomes of its Solanum host).

Absence of phytotoxins and secondary plant chemicals:Potato and tomato leaves form a protease inhibitor when injured. The material forms rapidly in damaged and adjacent leaves within a few hr. This inhibitor does not affect plant proteases and may be aimed specifically at animal digestive enzymes. Allylglucosinolate (ALGL) is a crucifer chemical toxic to noncruciferous-feeding insects but not to crucifer feeders. ALGL is acutely toxic to Papilio polyxenes larvae which do not normally feed on crucifers. However, Pieris rapae a crucifer pest is not affected by high concentration of ALGL. Spodoptera eridania a general feeder is inhibited by high ALGL but not by low concentration.ALGL is an example of a feeding barrier to herbivorous insects.

MFOs degrade foreign chemicals in the body and protect the body against toxic compounds. This allows an insect to degrade host secondary plant chemicals that act as phytotoxins to protect the plant from insect predation.The MFOs are rapidly inducible (e.g. 2 min to several hr to days). Spp. with inducible MFOs can detoxify a wide array of secondary plant chemicals.
![Page 140: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
This permits a wider array of plants as potential host for the insect. Insects spp. with highly inducible MFOs are polyphagous whereas those with poorly inducible MFOs are largely monophagous. Polyphagous spp. are more insecticide resistant than monophagous insects, probably because they have the ability to induce the MFOs which can degrade and detoxify insecticides.

Micro-Organisms and Nutrition
- Rhodnius contain actinomycetes( 放線菌 )- Yeasts occur in Anobiids and Cerambycids- Fungi in Scolytid bark beetles- Termites and the cockroach, Cryptocercus contain protozoa. - Cockroaches contain intracellular bacteria
![Page 142: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
- Micro-organisms are significant sources of nutrients in insects.> Mycetocytes or mycetomes ( 懷菌細胞 )are specialized cells and tissues that contain symbiotic microorganisms that supply essential nutrients to their host. - Spp. with restricted diets especially require microorganisms. For example, spp. that consume sterile blood throughout their lives, such as bedbugs and sucking lice, contain mycetomes with abundant microorganisms. Spp. that feed on blood during part of their life, such as mosquitoes, tabanid flies and fleas, lack mycetomes.
![Page 143: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
- Rhodnius and Triatoma have no intracellular symbiotes, but contain Actinomyces in the gut that produce B-vitamins. These Reduviids will not produce eggs or grow if reared on sterile blood. - If the louse Pediculus is deprived of mycetome and symbiotes, growth and reproduction are suppressed unless the insects are provided a single dose of B vitamins. > Larvae of bark beetles persisted for 6 years without pupation in vials of sterile oak bark but pupated in 5days once unsterile bark was provided.Probably this was the result of B vitamins from bacteria.
![Page 144: In order to maintain essential life processes To transform the chemical energy in the environment](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814d48550346895dba6f77/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
- Cockroach fat body contains bacteriocytes containing obligate symbiotic bacteria which may be the source of essential amino acids and vitamins such as vitamin C. > The bacteria may fix N for amino acids and produce methionine and cystine from sulfate. > The urocytes of the fat body surround the bacteriocytes and the uric acid that is storage-excreted in the urocytes may be recycled into amino acids during periods of starvation.

◎Symbiotes are transferred by specific processes from parent to progeny to insure effective reinfection. - Bacterial layer over the egg surface invades the oocyte - In roach, bacteriocytes infiltrate the ovary and pass bacteroids to the egg by fusion with the oocyte. - In the bostrychid Rhizopertha, microorganisms invade the testes and mix with sperm and are passed to the female during mating and subsequently invade the egg.. - In Trypetid fruit flies, microorganisms invade the ovipositor and enter the egg through the micropyle at oviposition.

- Anobiid yeast collects on the shell and the larva eats the shell. - In Glossina (tsetse fly) larva are nourished by milk glands in utero and the symbiotes are transferred in the milk. - In termites, proctodeal feeding occurs. > A liquid is excreted that consists of wood fragments and protozoa that other individuals eat to replenish the gut flagellates that they lost at the molt of the hindgut intima. - In Cryptocercus, the hindgut flagellates move into the space between the intima and the hindgut epithelium after apolysis.
