Copy Objective, HW

3. Goals
RI 7.6, Sci 7.3e
SWBAT understand concepts of nutrition to analyze how energy flows in food webs in ecosystems and predict possible results if disruptions occur.
I DO: Lesson Facts
WE DO: Foldables
YOU DO: Frayer Models

4. Frayer Model:
Autotrophs : rows 1-2
Heterotrophs: rows 3-4

5. What is Nutrition?
The entire process by which organisms obtain energy from food for growth, maintenance and repair of damaged tissues
Nutrient – the substances that are required for the nourishment of an organism

6. 6.1 Type of Nutrition
Two main types:
1. Autotrophic
2. Heterotrophic

7. 1. Autotrophic
A process in which organisms make organic substances from inorganic substances
Autotroph = Auto – self, trophos – feed (organism which can make their own food)
The source of energy for making food can be either light or chemical energy.

8. The synthesis of food using light energy – photosynthesis (photo – light)
Photoautotroph – organisms which produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight as a source of energy
Example: green plants

9. The synthesis of food using chemical energy – chemosynthesis (chemo – chemical)
Chemoautotroph – organisms which make organic compounds by oxidising inorganic compound (hydrogen sulphide and ammonia)
Example: certain bacteria (Nitrosomonas sp. and Nitrobacter sp.)

10. 2. Heterotrophic
A type of nutrition in which organism obtain energy through the intake and digestion of organic substances.
Heterotroph =Hetero – other, trophos – feed (organism that cannot make their own nutrients but obtain the nutrients from other organisms)

11. They may practice
a) Holozioc nutrition,
b) Saprophytism
c) Parasitism

12. - holo –like, zoon – animal - The organism feeds by ingesting
a) Holozoic nutrition
- holo –like, zoon – animal
- The organism feeds by ingesting
solid organic matter which is
subsequently digested and
absorbed into their bodies
- Examples: humans, herbivores,
carnivores and some carnivorous
pitcher plants and Venus fly-traps

13. - The organisms are called saprophytes - Feed on dead and decaying
b) Saprophytism
- The organisms are called saprophytes
- Feed on dead and decaying
organic matter
- Digest their food externally
before absorbing the nutrients
into their bodies
- Examples: bacteria, fungi

14. - The organisms are called parasites - Obtain nutrient from living on
c) Parasitism
- The organisms are called parasites
- Obtain nutrient from living on
(ectoparasites) or in (endoparasites)
the body of another living organism
(host)
- They absorb readily digested food
from its host
- Examples: fleas (ectoparasites), lice,
worms, wasps (endoparasites), Rafflesia
plant

18. Nutrition Based Division of Animals
The categories of their diets are :
Animals
Omnivores
Ex : Humans
Herbivores
Ex : Cows
Carnivores
Ex : Bengal tiger

19. Nutrition Based Division of Animals
Ex : Humans, Bears, Raccoons
Omnivores
Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and animals or even algal matter
Ex : Cows, Hares, Gorillas
Herbivores
They are animals that mainly eat autotrophs, i.e. Plants
Ex : Sharks, Snakes, Lions, Tigers
Carnivores
They are animals that eat other animals and meat

20. Which mode of obtaining nutrients is the most beneficial?
Turn and talk: 
Which mode of obtaining nutrients is the most beneficial?
Would one be the slowest? Why?
How is feeding related to the characteristics of life?

21. Why do animals require nutrition?
Animals are heterotrophs that require food for various reasons. Three of them are :
Chemical Energy
Fuel
The cells in the body require energy to work. Nutrition provides the energy required for cellular action to take place.
Biosynthesis
Bone Growth
Bone cells grow rapidly during the growth of an animal. Nutrition provides energy for Biosynthesis in which the carbon cells make new cells.
Ready-made form
Nutrients
Animals cannot make all the nutrients required all by itself using raw materials. These nutrients are fed to the animal in a readymade form.

22. What happens if animals do not get enough nutrients?
There are several pieces of colored paper on the floor around the room.
Students count off by 3 to divide themselves into groups.
On the first round, everyone races to pick up the pieces of paper with equal ability to use their hands. The fastest survive.
In the second round, variation is introduced. One group of students may still use their hands, another must use their elbows for hands, and the third group is scattered around the room but unable to move.
These three groups compete a couple of times, each time eliminating those who were not able to gain any “food” (paper).

23. Survivors are discussed
What happens if animals do not get enough nutrients: Adaptations and population changes
Survivors are discussed
What this would look like in reality in populations…
Q: Predict what might happen if you were selective about food options, for example, if you were only able to choose certain color pieces of paper.

24. Summary/ Feedback/ Questions
2 modes to get nutrients
3 types of animal heterotroph diets
Adaptations to win food = win the day
Tutoring will be offered by appointment. List where/when you need me in a note in my brown bag by Thursday.
