Cereibacter sphaeroides Flashcards
1
Q
What is the electron acceptor for aerobic respiration in C. sphaeroides
A
O2
2
Q
What is the initial electron donor for C. sphaeroides?
A
Acetate
3
Q
Principle of respiration
A
Chemical energy is converted to biological energy
Reduced electron carrying cofactors generated during the oxidation of an initial electron donor are reoxidized by the transfer of electrons to a terminal electron acceptor
The electrons are transferred to the terminal electron acceptor via an electron transport chain
4
Q
Energy is conserved how in respiration?
A
Oxidative phosphorylation
5
Q
Why is there more phototrophic growth?
A
The cell can use all of the carbon source for cell carbon instead of as an energy source
