OCB 1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Carbon Fixation, Chlorophyll, Chitin
Document Summary
Chemical reactions that require the presence of oxygen. Describes a process that does not require oxygen. Adenosine triphosphate, main energy source that cells use for most of their work. Bacteria (microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission. Cho - stored in the bosy as glycogen in the live and muslces, where it eventually is broken down into glucose. Primary source of heat and energy - basic building blocks. The conversion of inorganic co2 into rich organic carbon, ussually by photosynthesis. Complex derivatives of carbohydrates that is the main component of the skeleton of many animals. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis. A network of fibers that holds the cell together, helps the cell to keep its shape, and aids in movement. Dna a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix.
