Document Summary

Transcription is : protein synthesis from mrna template, lipid synthesis from fatty acids and glycerol, carbohydrate synthesis from monosaccharides, rna synthesis from dna template. The question is really just trying to get you to identify that motility is not a requirement for life, whereas all of the other components are necessary for life). Which metabolism and organism first contributed to o2 in our atmosphere: autotrophy and cyanobacteria, autotrophy and mineral breathers , heterotrophy and cyanobacteria, heterotrophy and mineral breathers . __________ was primarily responsible for identifying the domain archaea: robert koch, carle woese, anton van leeuwenhoek, louis pasteur. Which metabolic pathway is the most energy efficient: fermentation, glycolysis, aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, some combination of the above (glycolysis + aerobic) Pasteur"s contributions to microbiology include : developing the use of agar to culture microorganisms, disproving the theory of spontaneous generation, developing the first smallpox vaccine, establishing that microorganisms cause disease, first to observe bacteria under a microscope.
