Chapter 5 and 6 Flashcards
requirements for growth
C,H,O,N,S,P
K,Na,Fe,Mg,Ca,Cl
synthesis requires
chemical energy in ATP
anhydride bonds
this is the potential energy
proton motive force
part of mitochondrion or
chloroplast
eukaryotes
cytoplasmic membrane of the
cell
prokaryotes
Sources of Metabolic Energy
Fermentation
Respiration
Photosynthesis
what are the carbon sources?
autotrophs, chemolitotrophs, heterotrophs
what are the nitrogen sources?
ammonia, nitrogen fixation, denitrification, ammonification
use photosynthetic energy to
reduce CO2
autotrophs
use an inorganic substrate as carbon source
chemolitotrophs
requires organic carbon for growth
heterotrophs
end product for nitrogen
assimilation
ammonia
unique property of
prokaryotes
nitrogen fixation
NH3 to gaseous N2
denitrification
NH3 production by
deamination of amino acid
ammonification
forms several coenzyme found in cysteinyl
and methionyl of protein
cannot be used by plants and animals but not in autotrophic bacteria
hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
sulfur source
