MICR 2430 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Cellulase, Polysorbate 80, Citric Acid Cycle
Document Summary
Positive reaction a white precipitate from the fatty acids precipitating. Pectin is part of the cell wall in plants. All organisms need: a source of energy to generate pmf and atp. Why does growth require energy: energy is required to gain order. In earth"s atmosphere, if energy is gained, order is gained. Known endergonic vs. exergonic: growth is an endergonic process, **this would be a positive delta g value. All organisms need a source of carbon to build cellular polymers: organic, or inorganic carbon sources specifically carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is fixed and consumed by heterotrophs and then released as carbon dioxide. All organisms need a source of reducing power, to build reduced organics: photosynthetic organisms get their reducing power form sunlight, **know where organisms get their reducing power from. All organisms needs other macro and microelements (+possible essential nutrients)
