Document Summary

Organisms that use co2 as carbon face a big problem. The dichotomy of their food and what they are made of. For autotrophs, they are made of organic molecules but consume inorganic molecules. Have to go through metabolic reactions to transform inorganic carbon to organic carbon. Uses co2 as a carbon source two ways: Converts gaseous state of carbon to any other state. Reduces carbon and is assimilated (converting inorganic carbon to carbon) All about reduction (converting inorganic carbon to organic carbon) reduces carbon. Inputs of nadph and nadp+ (which supply the electrons) and atp to adp. Plants use water as their electron source and produce oxygen as waste product. They make their nadph by taking electrons out of water. Energy source directly interacts with the etc (unlike heterotrophs which use nadh to transport electrons to etc) Donation results in a waste product when energy source donates electron. Not making concentration gradient across membrane, but making it.
