5 Questions
Match the following organisms with their nutrient sources:
Animals = Energy sources, some amino acids, a subset of fatty acids, vitamins and certain minerals Plants = Diverse minerals through roots, plus carbon dioxide and oxygen through leaves Fungi = Dead or living organic matter from their host
Match the nutrients with their functions:
Nutrients = Used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce Essential nutrients for animals = Energy sources, some of the amino acids, a subset of fatty acids, vitamins and certain minerals Nutrients for plants = Diverse minerals through roots, plus carbon dioxide and oxygen through leaves
Match the following terms with their definitions:
Nutrient = A substance used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce Metabolic conversion = Process of converting nutrients to smaller molecules in the process of releasing energy Non-cellular structures = Structures such as hair, scales, feathers, or exoskeletons created by excreting nutrients from cells
Match the following substances with their end-products after metabolic conversion:
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins = Water and carbon dioxide Fermentation products = Ethanol or vinegar
Match the organism with the description of how they meet their nutrient needs:
Animals = Require dietary nutrient intake Plants = Require more diverse minerals absorbed through roots, plus carbon dioxide and oxygen absorbed through leaves Fungi = Live on dead or living organic matter and meet nutrient needs from their host
Test your knowledge about nutrients and their importance in the survival and growth of organisms. Explore the different types of nutrients, their functions in cells, and their role in creating non-cellular structures. Challenge yourself with questions about nutrient metabolism and conversion processes.
