Document Summary

Archaea requiring oxygen: an organism that uses oxygen in its metabolic processes as the electron acceptor. Anaerobic lack of oxygen: an organism that uses a different electron acceptor than oxygen in its metabolic processes, examples are sulfate, iron, carbon dioxide. Atp sythetase (synthase) the enzyme used in the process of converting adp to atp is essential in metabolism, and muscle contraction: used by molecular motors. Autotroph: an organism that gains its carbon from the carbon dioxide of an atmosphere, also uses organic, inorganic, and light for energy is independent of heterotrophs. Bacillus bacteria: a classification of bacteria based on their appearance rod-shaped. Bacteria (eubacteria: extremely diverse group of prokayotes, create diversity via horizontal gene transfer, replicate through binary fission the first organism was a bacteria and all other life is descendent from it. Bacterial flagellum the structure found on a bacterium that is used for motility this structure spins around at up to 2000 rpm.
