Study Notes
Fish Immunity
- Fish have an immune system
- Fish are cold-blooded animals
Digestion and Metabolism
- Catabolic reactions transfer energy from complex molecules to ATP
- Anabolic reactions transfer energy from ATP to complex molecules
- Simple molecules such as glucose, amino acids, glycerol, and fatty acids
- Complex molecules such as starch, protein, and lipids
- Food molecules: sugar, lipids, proteins (high-enthalpy, low-entropy compounds)
- CO2, waste products (low-enthalpy, high-entropy compounds)
- Cell components: membranes, proteins, nucleic acids (high-enthalpy, low-entropy compounds)
- Simple precursors (low-enthalpy, high-entropy compounds)
Feed Manufacturing Stages
