MG Deck 2 Flashcards
C02-carbon source / Light -energy
Photoautotrophs
Chemical-energy/ C02 -carbon source
Chemoautotrophs
light-energy / cannot use C02 as sole carbon source
photoheterotrophs
organic compounds-C02
chemical-energy
chemoheterotrophs
C02 (producers)-need no others-makes/fixes own food by C02
Autotrophs-plants algea
Consumers -organic from living things
Heterotrophs
light
phototroph
REDOX of organic and inorganic molecules
chemotrophs
pathogens are cold loving /polar regions
psychrophiles
pathogens are moderate temp lovers
mesophiles
hot loving pathogens
thermophiles
extreme heat loving microbes
hyperthermophile
prefers PH 6.5-7.5
Neutrophiles-most bacteria
prefers PH below 2
acidophiles
low solute -water in = Lysis
hypotonic
high solute-water out=shriveling
Hypertonic, nothing is living or thriving.
likes Salty environments
obligate HALOphiles
Needs O2
obligate aerobe
No O2
Obligate anaerobes-only one that does NOT have enzymes to eliminate free radicals.
Low O2
Microaerophile
Tolerates O2 but does not need it
Aerotolerant Anaerobe
Prefers O2
Obligate aerobe
Step 1 to eliminate free radicals
SOD -produces hydrogen peroxide /superoxide dismutase
Step 2 to eliminate free radicals
Catalase/peroxidase–neutralizes.
