Document Summary
Want to manage the ecosystem to manage the animals, sometimes done for conservation. Adventures in nutrition start with small (molecules), move to cells (metabolism/glycolysis), group the cells into an organism (digestion), the put them in the environment (herbivores). Interaction of food with the organism, focus on nutrients which are co pounds that are used to maintain to provide the raw materials to grow reproduce and health. Finding then eating then digesting then absorbing and metabolizing then eliminating. Rabbits eat poop; first time it comes out its wet then second time it comes out its drier. Made of two versions: one we are focusing on is essential nutrients, amino acids (proteins), fatty acids (energy), vitamins (most (not vd because its synthesized through the skin from the sun)), minerals. Animals and humans have a little while where they can survive without these nutrients then need to replenish them. Humans are 96. 3% o,c,h,n, other 3. 7% is ca,p,k,s,na,cl,mg that are minerals.
