Study Notes
Nutrient Uptake
- Invertebrates, such as insects, worms, and mollusks, have evolved different mechanisms to acquire and process nutrients from their environment.
- Nutrient uptake in invertebrates can occur through:
- Ingestion: taking in food particles through the mouth
- Absorption: diffusion of nutrients through the body wall or gut lining
- Pinocytosis: cellular uptake of nutrients through vesicle formation
- Invertebrates have adapted to their environment by developing specialized structures and strategies for nutrient uptake, such as:
- Filter feeding: using appendages or body structures to capture food particles from the surrounding water
- Deposit feeding: ingesting sediment and extracting nutrients from it
Gut Anatomy
- Invertebrates have diverse gut anatomies that reflect their feeding habits and environments.
- Types of gut anatomies in invertebrates:
- Simple gut: a single, straight tube (e.g., in cnidarians like jellyfish)
- Complex gut: a multi-chambered gut with specialized regions for digestion and absorption (e.g., in insects and crustaceans)
- Digestive caeca: blind-ending pouches that increase the surface area for digestion and absorption (e.g., in some worms)
- Gut anatomy adaptations in invertebrates:
- Gut lining specialization: presence of microvilli, cuticle, or peritrophic membrane to enhance nutrient uptake and protect against pathogens
- Gut-associated immune systems: presence of immune cells and tissues that help defend against pathogens and maintain gut homeostasis
