Question 1

delta E ^0=

Answer 1

Ered-Eox

species

Question 2

delta G ^0=

Answer 2

n(z)FDeltaE^0 (change in E)

Question 3

what is a facultive anaerobe

Answer 3

anaerobic and aerobic respiration

Question 4

what are electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration of e.coli

Answer 4

NO3 -> NO2    +43
FUMERATE -> SUCCINATE
SO42- -> S2
NO42- -> NO
FE3+ -> FE2+

Question 5

desxribe the reduction nitrate reductase catalyses

Answer 5

contains molyvdoenzymes which reduces NO3- -> NO2-
formate D -> ubiq -> nitrate reductase NO3- -> NO2-
NADH D - meniquinole -> nitrate reducatase NO3- -> NO2-

Question 6

what is zymonas mobilis

Answer 6

a g- facultive anaerobe which produces bioethanol, surpassing yeast

Question 7

what does zymonas mobilis fo to glucose

Answer 7

degrades it to pyruvate and then ferments pyruvate to ethanol via alcoholic fermentation

Question 8

what is mixed acid fermentation

Answer 8

anaerobic
charecteristic of enteric bacteria (intestinal)
with a varierty of producsts acrtase accetate succinate formate and ethanol and equal amounts co2 and h2o

Question 9

what are the products of mixed acid fermentation

Answer 9

lactate 
acetate
succinate
formate and ethanol
co2 and h2o

Question 10

what illness can enteric bacteria cause

Answer 10

typhoid fever
gastroenteritis
bubonic plague

Question 11

desribe the process of mixed acid fermentation

Answer 11

glucose -> pyruvate -> succinate/lactate/formic acid or acetyl coa
acetyl coa -> acetic acid or ethanol
formic acid -> co2 + h2

Question 12

how do obligate anaerobes generate energy

Answer 12

from slp and etp -> 02

Question 13

how do facultive anaerobes generate energy

Answer 13

etp>o2

slp etp_> no3- + fermentation
