BIO 3124 Study Guide - Final Guide: Anaerobic Respiration, Electron Transport Chain, Reduction Potential
Document Summary
Bio3124 final exam sheet topic 4 (nutrition) Macronutrients required for biosynthesis are c, h, n, o, p, s. Carbon: required for the synthesis of all organics carbohydrates, lipids, Inorganic co2 and co: sources organic and inorganic (inorganic most used, required for the synthesis of: nucleic acids, phospholipids, atp, required for the synthesis of: amino acids, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, phenols, etc. Nutritional classification: required for the synthesis of: amino acids (cysteine/methionine) and, sources, sources peptidoglycan vitamins (thiamine/biotin, required for the synthesis of all organics carbohydrates, lipids, Organic amino acids (cysteine and methionine) Autotrophs inorganic molecules co2 and co. Chemotrophs oxidation of either organic or inorganic compounds: source of electrons proteins, nucleic acids, source of energy, carbon source, sources. Aerobic o2 used as a final electron acceptor. Anaerobic inorganic final electron acceptor other than o2: fermentation organic final electron acceptor is used, measure of the tendency (willingness) of a chemical species to accept used.
