Document Summary

Catabolic process= breakdown of organic compounds: to release energy, organo/heterotrophs use carbon as a source of energy. They also use carbon as a source of electrons. This can occur through fermentation, respiration, photoheterotrophy: energy can also be yielded through. Light energy: photoautotrophy: bacteria and archaea use organotrophy and lithotrophy to gain energy. Fermentation: recycles nadh nad, there is an absence of a terminal electron acceptor. Therefore, nadh or nadph are oxidized to help make small organic acids and alcohols. To nad+ and nadp: no more energy is made, pyruvate lactate. Tricarboxylic acid cycle (krebs, citric acid: must occur in the presence of oxygen or another terminal electron acceptor, pyruvate oxidized acetyl coa. Each acetyl coa yields 3 nadh, 1 fadh2, and 1 atp. Therefore each glucose yields 6 nadh, 2 fadh2, 2 atp: completes glucose oxidation, intermediates of the tca cycle can be used for biosynthetic processes. Oxidative phosphorylation: process of transferring electrons and forming atp.
