Study Notes
Digestion & Food Chains
- Digestion starts in the mouth.
- Energy is transferred through food chains.
- Arrows in food chains represent energy flow from one organism to another.
- Organisms use different macromolecules for energy, like carbohydrates for elephants and proteins for lions.
- Macromolecules containing more carbon-hydrogen bonds have the most energy.
Nutrition and Food Chemistry
- Herbivores have large molars for grinding plant matter.
- Carnivores have large canines for tearing meat.
- Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions.
- Lactase is an enzyme specifically for digesting lactose.
- Bonds are broken during digestion, releasing water and energy.
Building Organic Molecules
- Plants use nitrogen from the soil and glucose from photosynthesis to build proteins.
- Proteins are built from amino acids.
- About 10% of energy is transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
Energy in Chemical Reactions
- Reactants are on the left side of a chemical reaction's equation, while products are on the right side.
- Breaking bonds releases energy.
- Creating bonds requires energy.
