Bio Test Part Three: Chart Flashcards
Energy capture: Heterotroph
Other feeder
Heterotrophs get energy by consuming organic molecules
EC: Photoheterotroph
Light and other feeder
Photoheterotrophs consume organic molecules and photosynthesize
EC: Photoautotroph
Light self feeder
Photoheterotrophs consume organic molecules and photosynthesize
EC: Chemoautotroph
Chemical self feeder
Chemoautotrophs consume molecules from chemical reactions
Energy release: Heterotroph
metabolism - Obligate aerobe meaning requiring oxygen
Obligate aerobes perform respiration with O2
ER: Photoheterotroph
Metabolism - Obligate Anaearobe meaning requiring a lack of oxygen
Obligate anaerobes ferment and may die in the presence of O2
ER: Photoautotroph
Metabolism - Obligate Anaearobe meaning requiring a lack of oxygen
Releases energy through fermentation, die in presence of oxygen
ER: Chemoautotroph
Facultative anaerobe - surviving without oxygen when necessary
Facultative anaerobes do both and can survive with or without O2
