test 4 lec 21 Flashcards
can fermentation generate ATP
no
swiss cheese production involves what two fermentation stages
lactobacillus ferments lactose into lactic acid
propionbacterium converts lactate to propionate, acetate, and CO2
carbohydrates break down into
disaccharides then mono
lipids are hydrolyzed to
glycerol and fatty acids
peptides are hydrolyzed to
amino acids
microbes catalyze what kind of substrates
carbohydrates
lipids
peptides
aromatic compounds
what are some fermentation pathways
homolactic
ethanolic
heterolactic
mixed-acid
what is photoheterotrophy
bacteria gain energy from light while using organic carbon substrates for catabolism and/or biosynthesis
sugar and sugar derivatives are catabolized to
pyruvate
does respiration yield more energy than fermentation
yes
does redox rxns occur in stage 2 of emp
yes
produce 2 NADH
what is respiration
complete breakdown of organic molecules with electron transfer to a terminal electron aceptor such as O2
aromatic compounds are catabolized to
acetate
what are the three stages of pentose phosphate pathway
oxidation-dexarboxylation
isomerization reactions
sugar rearrangement reactions
first stage of EMP
glucose activation stage
