Document Summary
Include photoautotrophs (obtain energy from light), chemoautotrophs (obtain energy from oxidizing simple inorganic substances such as sulfides and nitrates: heterotrophy: other-feeding , get their carbon from ready-made organic molecules, which they obtain from other ii. organisms, living or dead. Nad has a positive charge in its oxidized state (nad+). Increasing the substrate concentration does not increase the reaction rate: feedback inhibition: regulates the rate of many metabolic pathways, factors that affect enzyme reaction. Ingredients: glucose + 2nad+ 2atps +4 adp + 4 p. 1: end result: 2 pyruvate + 2 nadh + 2 adp + 4 atps, net: 2 atps, 2 nadh, 2 pyruvates, fermentation: when pyruvic acid is metabolized in the absence of oxygen i. The result of the need to recycle the limited amount of nad by passing the electrons of reduced nad off to other molecules: organisms ferment to recycle nad.
