Document Summary

All life requires: electron flow to drive all life processes. Drives ions into & out of cells. Used to create atp: energy to move electrons, materials to make cell parts. Source of electrons: lithotrophs- inorganic molecules are electron donors (iron, organotrophs- organic molecules are electron donors (glucose) Nitrate or oxygen (respiration: organic molecules. Excited molecules are electron donors: chemotrophs. Growth factors (organic compounds) necessary for enzyme function. Nitrogen- needed by cells for amino acids, nitrogen bases, & other cell constituents: nitrogen-fixing prokaryotes- capable of using atmospheric nitrogen gas, most prokaryotes obtain nitrogen from compounds such as ammonia & nitrate. Energy sources: chemoorganotrophs- energy from oxidation (removing electrons) of organic compounds, chemolithotrophs- energy from oxidation of inorganic compounds, only in prokaryotes. Don"t have to compete or rely on other things: phototrophs- contain pigments that allow them to use light as an energy source. Carbon sources: heterotrophs- carbon source is organic carbon compounds, autotrophs- carbon source is carbon dioxide.
