Evolution Of Bioenergetics Flashcards
1
Q
What are two ways in which ATP is made?
A
Substrate level phosphorylation (SLP)
Chemiosmosis
2
Q
How many ATP does SLP make?
A
1
3
Q
How does chemiosmosis work?
A
It uses a proton gradient
4
Q
What are photoautotrophs?
A
They make ATP by light driven chemiosmosis
Fix carbon via the calvin cycle
5
Q
What are chemoheterotrophs?
A
They make ATP by SLP (glycolysis and Krebs cycle)
Secondary chemiosmosis
Cannot fix carbon
6
Q
What are chemoautotrophs?
A
Make ATP by inorganic chemically driven SLP
Secondary chemiosmosis
Fix carbon via Calvin cycle
