Biology:
life study of
What is Life?
Properties of Life
Cellular Structure: the unit of life, one or many
Metabolism: photosynthesis, respiration, fermentation,
digestion, gas exchange, secretion, excretion,
circulation--processing materials and energy
Growth: cell enlargement, cell number
Movement: intracellular, movement, locomotion
Reproduction: avoid extinction at death
Behavior: short term response to stimuli
Evolution: long term adaptation

Obtaining Food
Heterotrophs need to
feed on other organisms, their byproducts, or their dead bodies to survive
Heterotrophic Organisms
Herbivores: feed directly upon producers
Carnivores: feed directly upon herbivores or other carnivores
Omnivores: feed upon both producers and consumers
Parasites: feed upon living organisms causing disease
Saprobes: feed upon by-products and/or dead bodies aka detritivore
Food is required as fuel for respiration:
Cytosolic Glycolysis:
sugars to pyruvate
Mitochondrial Matrix Krebs Cycle:
pyruvate to CO2 and NADH
Mitochondrial Cristae ETS/Oxidative Phosphorylation:
NADH and O2 to H2O and ADP + Pi to ATP

A look inside the digestive system:
• Mandibles chop food sideways
• Stomach holds food, grinds food
• Digestive gland injects enzymes
• Intestine absorbs subunits
• Rectum dehydrates wastes
• Anus ejects fecal pellet

She has a diverticulum to hold
the blood meal for later use.
She lives for 4-5 days on this
one blood meal.
The blood protein is used for
laying a “raft” of eggs in water.
piercing stylet
This female mosquito has sensory
organs to locate the victim animal
(thermal, CO2) and it’s blood
vessels (octenol).
She also has a stylet to pierce into
an animal’s circulation system.

Most birds
have a crop
for holding
food to feed
offspring.
The gizzard
assists in
mechanical
grinding of
food.
The intestine
does:
•enzymatic
digestion
•subunit
uptake
esophagus
intestine gizzard stomach
crop
rectum
cloaca
http://i.pbase.com/u49/wangi/upload/40767363.P1150275small.jpg
The rectum holds and partially dehydrates waste
The cloaca is a single passage area for:
digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems
In most vertebrates, digestion begins with mastication using teeth
connective
tissue
bone
Infection of
the gums
(periodontitis)
is associated
with
endocarditis!
In humans, tools (knives, blender, cooking pots) are used
to initiate food preparation externally!

Human Molar l.s.
Dentition may include cutting, tearing, and grinding teeth

Juvenile teeth may be
replaced by adult teeth
Human dentition indicates we are omnivores!

tearing
Among vertebrates the dentition has functional significance:
beaver
Huge indeterminate incisors
slash into young tree trunks,
molars grind plant material
deer
muscular lips tear off leaves,
molars grind them

An intestinal cross section reveals the increased surface area:
villi
©1996 Norton Presentation Maker, W. W. Norton & Company
To increase the surface area of the absorptive regions of
the intestine, the lining is corrugated and lined with villi
sugars,
amino acids,
nucleotides
Notice how the villus is coated with microvilli…for more area!

The villi of the intestine have good blood supply for nutrient uptake
