principles of heteorophic nutrition?

Heterotrophs are organisms which do not make their own food and instead use the food prepared by the autotrophs or the producers.There are three types of heterotrophic nutrition:\n\n1.Saprophytic:In this mode of nutrition,the organisms depend upon the dead and decaying organic(containing carbon or carbon chains) matter.they derive their nutritio from thesesaprophytic heterotrophs depend on dead, decaying organic matter. There are many species of saprophytic bacteria and fungi. Saprophytic decay bacteria and fungi are essential decomposers which recycle vital nutrients back into the ecosystem. .\n.eg - mushrooms,etc.\n\n2.Parasitic:In this mode of nutrition the organism dosn't pre[are its own food.It derives its food from some other organism.The organism fom which it derives its nutrition is called the host.eg\nParasitic nutrition: e.g. taenia (taenia solium - tapeworm). This is an endoparasite, with two hosts. The adult form is found attached on the inside of human intestines, the larval form is found in the pig. The adult is made up of segments called proglottides. At one end is the scolex, which has a double row of hooks and 4 suckers to attatch to the hosts intestine. Lower segments self fertilise and are released in the hosts faeces. It has no digestive system or enzymes it directly absorbs predigested nutrients straight into its body. It has a thick outer coating (tegument) made of protien and chitin, which protects it from the hosts enzymes. It can survive in low oxygen levels. It causes little damage in healthy humans.\n\nHolozoic:Organisms that are holozoic are consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores and Secondary consumers are carnivores, some organ isms feed on both plants and animals and are called omnivores.. Each are specifically adapted to their particular type of nutrition:\n\nHerbivores: e.g. cattle and sheep are herbivores and ruminants. Ruminants digestive systems allow a high proportion of cellulose to be digested. Ruminants have 4 stomachs (rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum).\n\n1) food is swallowed and lands in the rumen. This contains bacteria and some protoists annd yeasts. Food remains here for upto 30 hrs. The food is often regurgitated to be chewed again (chewing the cud). The microbes break down the cellulose (with cellulase), into hexoses (breaks poly saccaride b-link). These hexoses are then fermented in anaerobic conditions into organic acids, alos alot of CO2 and methane are belched.\n2) Next food enters the reticulum, sometimes food enters here first. Food moves between the rumen and reticulum fairly freely.\n3) As the food enters the omasum, where water and organic acids are removed. No enzymes are secreted.\n4) From here on it follows a similar path as in the human gut, with enzymes being secreted etc.\n\nNB. many of the bacteria etc are also taken in with the food and digested, which makes protien digestion from the rumen even more efficient, as the microbes can convert low grade protien and urea into a high grade version that can be digested by the cow.\n\nCarnivores: e.g. cat or dog. Their digestive system is more or less the same as humans. The greatest differences being in theeir dentition and other physical and behavioural adaptations which aid their hunting.

I think they are referring to a diet - I'm not sure where it came from but there's a book- where the author explored the thought that by using your blood type to navigate where you're family has descended from you can pick better choices of food to help keep your body healthy in it's own way. I believe it stemmed back to the hunter/gather idea and how different climates and food sources in days long ago still dictate how our bodies choose to process food (red meat vs fish vs vegetarian)..... I read a part of the book - it was interesting idea, but I did not try the diet.

Any living organism that obtains its energy from organic substances produced by other organisms can be defined as heterotroph. All animals and fungi are heterotrophs,mushroom are fungi that feed on organic substances thus it is heterotroph.

Members of the kingdom Animalia lack chlorophyll and hence, they cannot manufacture their food. They obtain energy by feeding heterotrophically. Their life is dependent on other forms of life and therefore, they obtain their food from other organisms...

B6: Pyridoxine: Takes part in normal tryptophan metabolism. If it is deficient the following occurs: Peculiar dermatitis, reduced grwoth, degenartion of nerves, reproductive failure and Hypochondric microcytic anaemia. Daily requirement for adults is 2mgm/day. It is sufficiently present in normal diet.\n             B12.Cyanacobalamin: Plays essential role for the formation and maturation of RBC , Also in formation of nueclic acid, Cocerned with maintenance of normal health and activity of the certain parts of the nervous system.

I would just talk about way plant and animal cells are constructed like cell walls and stuff. And talk about differences in how they make energy like animals burn sugar and plants first make sugar themselves. I'm sure that could be used to discuss nutrients issues.

plants need minerals as their food through the process of photosynthesis as people need minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, protein fats , oil, etc as food through the process of digestion and assimilation

Here's at least a partial bibliography!\n\nhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&q=G+Bolodia&btnG=Search\n\nYou'll probably find this one especially interesting:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6754370&dopt=Citation\n\n"A tribute to professor Sir Hans A. Krebs, F.R.S. (1900-1981)."\n\nYou'll probably need to access them from a library or purchase the papers to read them.  Good Luck!

I'd suggest you look in the front of your textbook.  It will be along the lines of "The principles of biology are. . . ."  Usually when they ask open ended questions like these they don't want a thoughtful and insightful answer like the ones given above but rather, for you to parrot the aforementioned sentence back to them.
