Chemolithoautotrophs and photolithoautrophs

Question 1

name the anabolic pathways that use inorganic carbon to synthesize organic molecules

Answer 1

calvin cycle and reductive tca cycle

Question 2

calvin cycle, what it produces and requires

Answer 2

produces G3P (used for anabolism of molecules) requires CO2 and lots of NADPH and ATP

Question 3

reductive tca cycle, what it produces and requires

Answer 3

uses enzymes of oxidatve TCA cycle that have free nrg near o, and 6 diff enzymes. requires NADH, FADH, CO2 and ATP. used toproduce acetyl CoA (used for anabolism)

Question 4

why must the free nrg be near 0

Answer 4

so reductive TCA cycle is driven by [substrate]
