Animal Ecology (Fauna) Part 1: Food Acquisition and Body Temperature

The video tutorial explores the essential nutrients required for survival, focusing on macronutrients and micronutrients. It discusses animal dietary classifications and the evolution of digestive systems. The tutorial also covers thermoregulation, highlighting how animals maintain body temperature through various adaptations. Finally, it introduces the role of water in essential bodily functions.

What are the major macronutrients required by animals for survival?

Explain the role of carbon in biological macromolecules.

What are the consequences of mineral deficiencies in animals?

What are the differences between macro minerals and micro minerals?

Explain how animals obtain nutrients from their food.

Describe the digestive system of herbivores and its adaptations.

What mechanisms do endotherms use to maintain a stable internal temperature?

How do ectotherms regulate their body temperature?

What adaptations do animals have for insulation against cold?

Discuss the importance of water in animal bodily functions.
