8. Heterotroph vs autotroph


Give this one a try later!


a. Heterotroph
i. An organism that must obtain it's carbon in an organic form. dependent
on other life forms


b. Autotrophs
i. Uses inorganic CO2 as it's carbon source. can convert CO2 into organic
compounds. not nutritionally dependent on other living things




22. Know the electron carriers in aerobic respiration and how many ATP's are
produced for each one.


Give this one a try later!

, a. NADH = 3
b. FADH = 2




3. The different types of transport and their energy requirements (osmosis, diffusion,
facilitated diffusion, endocytosis, phagocytosis, active transport, group translocation,
etc.)


Give this one a try later!


a. Passive transports
i. no energy required
ii. materials move down concentration gradients
1. Osmosis
a. water moves from a higher concentration gradient to a lower
concentration gradient.
2. Simple diffusion
a. high concentration to low
3. Facilitated diffusion
a. substance moves from high to low
b. protein carriers involved

b. Active transports
i. energy and special membrane protein required
ii. materials move against concentration gradients
1. endocytosis
a. large substrates engulfed by the cell through vacuoles or microvilli.
b. Includes pino (small/liquid) and phago (bulkier items) cytosis
2. group translocation
a. nutrient transported
b. substance altered (glucose is phosphorylated)




15. How microbial growth can be measured directly and indirectly


Give this one a try later!

, !!! ASK !!!
a. Directly
i. Viable plate count (count plate after serial dilution?)
1. Both dead and live cells are counted
ii. Microscopic counts

b. Indirectly
i. Dry weight
ii. Metabolic activity
iii. Turbidity (light scatter?)




8. Active site vs allosteric site vs substrate


Give this one a try later!


a. Active site
i. Region on the enzyme that interacts with the substrate
b. Allosteric site
i. Regulatory binding site (NOT THE ACTIVE SITE)
c. Substrate
i. The substance that's going through a chemical change




11. List the three types of phosphorylation reactions that generate ATP


Give this one a try later!


a. Sub-strate level phosphorylation (glycolysis and krebs)

b. Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC and chemiosmosis)

c. Photophosphorylation (photosynthesis)
