| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Macro molecules | -large molecules -Carbohydrate, Lipid, and Protein (aka 3 building blocks of life) -responsible for most structure and functions of the body;energy, storage, insulation, growth, communication |
| Organic compounds | - carbon based -carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids |
| Carbohydrates molecule | glucose |
| Lipids molecule | fatty acids |
| proteins molecule | amino acids |
| symbol for carbohydrate, lipid, and protein | Carbon; C,H,O Lipid; C,H,O Protein; C,H,O,N |
| To break down | Hydrolysis |
| To reform | Dehydration synthesis |
| Net energy release that creates energy molecules when bonds are broken | ATP; Adenosine Triposphate; energy molecules that allow cells to do the work needed to keep the organism alive and functioning., |
| General rule for processes such as cell respiration | The more carbon atoms there are in a molecule, the more energy that molecule can provide to the organism when it is used as food |
| Which molecule is more likely to be a good source of energy for an organism | Protein because animals gain more |
| chemical formula for glucose | C6H12O6 |
| Process that ATP support | -cells growing -cells moving -cells dividing/reproducing -cells expelling waste |
| Elephants use mostly _____ from their diet for energy | Carbohydrates because their diet is herbivorous |
| Lions use mostly _______ from their diet for energy | Proteins because their diet is carnivorous |
| Basic unit for nutrient micro molecule | Carbohydrate- Glucose (C6H12O6) Protein- amino acids lipids(fats)- 1 glycerol and 2 fatty acids |
| Why do some species lack canine teeth? | Because their diet doesn't require them |
| Canine teeth usage | They are used for grinding and chewing food |
| What makes plant material hard to digest | it contains cellulose, which is hard to break down. |
| Carnivore Omnivore herbivore Detrivore | organism that only eats meat- shorter digestive track organism that eats both eat and plants organisms that only eats plants- longer digestive track organism that feeds on other dead beings =, and return nutrients back to the soil |
| -trophic leveles | -feeding levels -Tertiary (consumer, carnivore) Secondary (consumer, carnivore) primary (consumer, herbivore) producers(auto- trophs) |
| Auto- trophs | make their own food- process of photosynthesis |
| Heterotrophs | consumer eats other organisms |
| Does the type of animal determine which trophic level they exist in | No, it depends on what the animal eats |
| Why are detrivores important | Help break down dead organic material and return them to the soil |
| metabolism | all chemical activities inside the body |
| How does nitrogen get into the food web | -plants absorb nitrates from the soil, and animals eat the plants -through producers |
