Chemoorganoheterotrophs Flashcards
1
Q
3 possible modes of nrg releases
A
aerobic and anaerobic respiration and fermatation
2
Q
aerobic respiration
A
means an ETC is used to create a PMF and oxygen is the TEA
3
Q
anaerobic respiration
A
an ETC is used to create a PMF, the TEA will be organic or inorganic chemicals but not O2
4
Q
fermentation
A
no ETC used, used endogenous organic molecules as the TEA
5
Q
3 stages of catabolism
A
- outside cell macromolucules to smaller molecules by exoenzymes
- inside cell pyruvate
- Fermantation OR respiration
6
Q
fn of central metabolism pathways
A
amphibolic, used for catabolism and to provide precursor metabolites for anabolism of sugars, aa, lipids and nucleotides
