EPS SCI 3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Helicobacter Pylori, Electron Donor, Photoheterotroph
Document Summary
When it can bind to itself, it can form almost unlimited amount of chains. Enzymes are tools, such as a screwdriver that speed up processes. No replication of genetic information will be possible without nucleic acids. Three phosphate groups, one adenine group, and one ribose group adenosine. When we eat food and metabolize, the energy is stored as atp. As a phosphate group is released, energy is released. Life gains e via electron transfer: redox reactions. They are using chemical reactions to gain e. Summary: get c from co2, e from inorganic chemicals. Also use organic compounds to build biomass. : a bacterium that degrades organic compound and uses them both as energy and carbon source. There are two different groups of :prokarya. Pro= no restricted core in the cell. Cells contain a nucleus with genetic material within membranes. In multicellular organisms, their cells have diversified and function as a whole system.
