Study Notes

Nutrient Sources and Uses

  • Fungi primarily feed on organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, for their nutrient needs.
  • Non-cellular structures created by cells using nutrients include cellulose, chitin, and peptides.

Essential Nutrients

  • Animals require essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which are a subset of fatty acids.
  • Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for both animals and plants.

Plant Nutrition

  • Plants absorb nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium through their roots.

Energy Release

  • The end-products of the metabolic conversion of nutrients for releasing energy are ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
  • Nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can be metabolically converted to smaller molecules for releasing energy.
