Microbial Metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
It refers to the sum of all chemical reaction within an organism, more specifically in the cell.
A
Metabolism
2
Q
- It is any molecule that is a nutrient, an intermediary product, or the end- product in a metabolic reaction
A
Metabolite
3
Q
The 2 classes of Chemical Reaction
A
- Anabolic Reaction
- Catabolic Reaction
4
Q
- It is synthetic and energy consuming (endergonic)
- Includes process that utilizes energy that stored in ATP to synthesize and assemble the subunits or building blocks of macromolecules that make up the cell
A
Anabolic Reaction
5
Q
- It is a chemical reaction that combines simple substances into more complex molecules
- These biosynthetic reaction generates the materials for growth
A
Anabolic Reaction
6
Q
- Formation of Nucleic Acid from Mononucleotides
- Formation of polysaccharides from simple sugars
A
Anabolic Reactions
7
Q
- It is degenerative; energy yielding (Exergonic)
- A chemical reaction that breaks down complex organic compounds with the release of energy and is stored in ATP
A
Catabolic Reaction
8
Q
- The energy is then utilized to drive anabolic reactions
- This encompasses process that harvest energy released from the breakdown if compounds and using that energy to synthesize ATP
A
Catabolic Reaction
9
Q
- The major source of energy of the cell
A
Catabolic Reactions
10
Q
- Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor
A
Aerobic Respiration
11
Q
- Inorganic substances such as NO3 or SO4 serves as the final electron receptop
A
Anaerobic Respiration
12
Q
- Organic compounds serves as the final hydrogen acceptor
A
Fermentation
13
Q
- Also called as the GLYCOLYTIC PATHWAY or ANAEROBIC PATHWATY
A
EMP/ Embden- Meyerhoff Parnas Pathway
14
Q
- This primarily used by the anaerobic bacteria to some degree by facultative anaerobic bacteria
A
EMP/Embden-Meyerhoff Parnas Pathway
15
Q
- In this pathway glucose is being degraded without oxygen
A
EMP/Embden-Meyerhoff Parnas Pathway
