- ATP
Energy carrying molecule
Energy stored within bods between phosphates
When releasing energy is converted into ADP via a condensation reaction
Prokaryotes can be either phototrophs, Chemotrophs, autotrophs, heterotrophs
Autotrophs
Most autotrophs are photosynthetic (they create their energy via raw materials)
Heterotrophs
Gains their energy via consumption of other organisms
Fermentation
The breakdown of starch and sugar in anaerobic conditions forming ATP
C6H12O6 + Yeast Zymase = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
Glucose + Yeast Zymase = Ethyl alcohol + Carbon dioxide
Main product is usually ethanol as shown above
Different alcohols are formed dependent on the source of the sugar
