Document Summary
Highlighted questions are from articles: distinguish between macronutrients and micronutrients, macronutrients: nutrients required in large amounts, micronutrients: nutrients required in just trace amounts, list all 10 macronutrients, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, potassium, Magnesium, calcium, sodium (chop can snak mg: give some examples of micronutrients, boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, H2o: how does an organism protect themselves from toxic oxygen molecules, enzymes, h2o2: catalase and peroxidase attack, forming o2 and h2o, respectively. ): superoxide dismutase attacks, forming h2o2 and: superoxide anion (o2. O2 from two o2 formed h2o2 product to form harmless products. Molecules; catalase (or peroxidase) attacks newly: protein-free manganese complexes, superoxide reducatase, what enzyme combinations would detoxify superoxide (o2. In what organisms might those combinations be found? (slide 11: superoxide dismutase and catalase/peroxidase. + 4h+ 2h2o + 3o2: 4o2, obligate aerobes and facultative aerobes; sd is essential for aerobes, protein-free manganese complexes, aerotolerant anaerobes, superoxide reductase.
