Document Summary

Electron flow: drives ions into and out of cells (drives all life processes!, used to create atp, source of electrons: Lithotrophs = inorganic molecules that are electron donors (iron) Organotrophs = organic molecules that are electron donors (glucose: ultimate electron acceptor. Respiration inorganic molecules: nitrate anaerobic, oxygen aerobic. Excited molecules are electron donors: chemotrophs. Oxidation of chemical (oxidation = donation of electrons) Materials (to make cell parts: nutrients- chonps (macronutrients they need most, macronutrients. Major elements in cell macromolecules: c, h, o, n, p, s. Ions necessary for protein function: mg2+, ca2+, fe2+, k, micronutrients. Growth factors (organic compounds) necessary for enzyme function: carbon. Large amount needed by cells to form organic compounds (amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, & nitrogenase bases) to carry out cellular functions. Autotrophs- prokaryotes that can make all cellular structures from co2. Heterotrophs- must obtain carbon from organic compounds. (most prokaryotes: nitrogen= 7-9% of air.
