DIETARY CATEGORIES BESTIVORE

 this is how the following organisms get  A carnivore that preys and eats live
their food. animal material (bestia = animal)
 Puma

AUTOTROPH (PHOTOSYNTHETIC)
OMNIVORE
 Organisms that can MAKE their own food
utilizing the energy from the sun  An organism that eats both animal and
plant material (omni = all)
 Human
AUTOTROPH (CHEMOSYNTHEHIC)

 Organisms that can MAKE their own food

CARCASIVORE
utilizing inorganic molecule like hydrogen
sulfide  A carnivore that scavenge on dead animal
material (carcasium = carcass)

HETEROTROPH
DETRITIVORE
 Organisms that rely on other organisms
for nutrition  An organism that feeds on decaying
organic matter (detritus) via internal
digestion
VICTIVORE  First eat then digest (interna)

 A herbivore that eats live plant material

(victus = living)
DECOMPOSERS
 panda
 An organism that feeds on decaying
organic matter usually via external
LECTIVORE digestion
 Bactetia
 A herbivore that eats dead plant material  Exetrnal digestion at route of plants
(lectus = litter)
 Termite

SACROPHAGE

 A parasite that usually seen on animal’s

skin or inside the body
 Kuto/lisa
 BULK FEEDERS

ZONTANOPHAGE  humans/mammals
 eating in chunks
 A parasite that usually feeds on live
plants (zontanos = alive)

FOOD PROCESSING:

1. INGESTION - intake
NECROPHAGE 2. DIGESTION – breaking down of
nutrients
 A saprophage that usually seen in dead
3. ABSORPTION
animal remains
4. ELIMINATION

THANATOPHAGE
MAMMALIAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
 A saprophage that usually seen in dead
 Composed of the gastrointestinal tract
plant remains
and accessory organs
 Mushroom

ORAL CAVITY
FEEDING MECHANISMS:
 Lined with 32 permanent teeth
 Barnacle
 Have a muscular tongue and salivary
 Sponges
glands
 Rotifer – microscopic, protozoans found
 Main entrance of food
in fresh water
 Mastication (chewing)
FILTER AND SUSPENSION FEEDERS  Carbohydrates are dissolved
 Saliva – enzyme released
 get what they can find in their
environment (water)
 they eat planktons like Zooplankton
PHARYNX
(animal) and Phytoplanktons (plant like)
 Common passageway of food and air
 Deglutition (swallowing)
SUBSTRATE FEEDERS - earthworm

FLUID FEEDERR

 mosquitos/butterfly
 PROBOSCOSCIS - needle like mouth use
to suck fluid
  2 to 4 meter tube
 1 inch diameter
ESOPHAGUS
 Have folds (villi)
 25 -cm tube  BILE, INTESTINAL ENZYMES,
 Connects the pharynx and the stomach PANCREATIC ENZYMES,
 Moves bolus via peristalsis BICARBONATES – enzyme released
 BOLUS - chewed food and saliva  Receives secretion from liver &
 start ofperistalsis pancreas
 7-10 seconds for the food to go down the  Receives chyme
stomach  Digestion & Absorption
 LIPID, CARBOHYDRATES, PROTEIN,
NECLEIC ACID – substance processed

STOMACH  3 parts S.I.

- Duodenum
 Acidic - Jejunum
 Hydrochloric acid +pepsinogen = Pepsin - Ileum
 PEPSIN – main enzyme for digestion
of protein
 Same length of esophagus (25 cm J- LARGE INTESTINE
shaped tube)
 Have folds (rugae) – folds in the stomach  1.5 meter tube
 With gastric glands and sphincters 4  3 inch diameter
Liter capacity  Have folds (villi)
 Chemical Digestion  VITAMINS, WATER, MINERALS –
 Protein is dissolved substance processed
 Receives and stores undigested
NOTE: A ruminant’s (mammals) stomach has 4 material or feces
chambers that allows digestion of cellulose to  Absorption & Elimination
happen.

ANIMAL DIGESTIVE
SMALL INTESTINE
1. Sponges/Cnidarians - no digestive with special
cells

2. Worms – 2 opening with gizzard

3. Birds – 2 openings with gizzard and crop with

cloaca

4. Reptiles – 2 openings, same with mammals with

cloaca

5. Anthropods – 2 openings, different mouth

parts

6. Single celled – food vacuole, 2 lysosome

7. Plants – photosynthesis

8. Fish – 2 opening with cloaca

9. Amphibians – 2 opening with cloaca

10. Echinoderms – mouth and anus

11. Mollusks – with madual, mouth and anus
