drinking, ingested (contained in/on feed), metabolic (breakdown of nutrients) - Answer what
are the sources of the nutrient of water?
function of water - Answer 1. transport of nutrients and excretions
2. in chemical reactions and as solvent properties

proteins - Answer nutrients composed of amino acids (22)
amino acids - Answer building blocks of proteins
amino acids→peptide→polypeptide→protein - Answer what is the structure of proteins?
protein analysis - Answer determine N content and multiply by 6.25 (100/16% N in protein)
nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) - Answer a substance that contains nitrogen that is not apart of
amino acids; urea, biuret
urea - Answer H₂N-C-NH₂; much cheaper source of protein
proteins - Answer what does bacteria need to function?
function of proteins - Answer 1. basic structural unit of animal body
2. body metabolism: enzymes, hormones, immune antibodies, hereditary transmission
structures are composed of proteins
3. energy source: excess will be excreted or stored as fat/muscle
hormones - Answer what causes growth?
carbohydrates (CHO) - Answer main source of energy for our bodies
photosynthesis - Answer produces CHO's: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 673 (calories of radiant energy from
sunlight) Chlorophyll: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6CO₂
