Question
Answer
Inorganic nutrients   contains a combination of atoms other than C & H Ex- metals, salts, water  
🗑
Organic nutrients   contain C & H atoms, usually products of living things Ex- methane, carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids  
🗑
Heterotroph   obtain carbon in organic form made by other living organisms  
🗑
Autotroph   organism that uses Co2, an inorganic gas as its carbon source, not nutritionally dependent on living things  
🗑
Chemotroph   gain energy from chemical compounds, relates to carbon  
🗑
Phototroph   gain energy through photosynthesis  
🗑
Passive transport   does not require energy, higher concen to lower ex- Diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion  
🗑
Active transport   requires energy & carrier proteins, gradient independent Ex- Active transport, group translocation, bulk transport (endo/ exocytosis)  
🗑
Facilitated diffusion   down a concentration gradient, specific for molecule, maximal rate per transport protein, faster if more proteins added  
🗑
Uniport   move one molecule one direction  
🗑
Antiport   when one molecule moves in, another moves out, specific to two molecules  
🗑
Symport   moves two molecules either in or out at same time, specific to two molecules  
🗑
Psychrophiles   cold, below 15 c, can survive at 0 c  
🗑
Mesophiles   optimum 20-40 c, most human pathogens  
🗑
Thermophiles   “hot” greater than 45 c  
🗑
Obligate aerobe   cannot grow without oxygen, lacks enzyme  
🗑
faculative/ aerotolerant aerobe   utilizes oxygen but can also grow in its absence  
🗑
Microaerophilic   requires a small amount of oxygen  
🗑
Capnophile   grows best at higher c02  
🗑
Obligate acidophiles   grow at extreme acid pH  
🗑
Alkalinophiles   grow at extreme alkaline pH  
🗑
Halophiles   require a high concentration of salt  
🗑
Osmotolerant   don’t require high concentration of solute but can tolerate it  
🗑
Barophiles   can survive under extreme pressure  
🗑
Symbiotic   organisms live in close nutritional relationships  
🗑
Mutalism   obligatory, dependent, both benefit  
🗑
Commensalism   one member benefits, other unharmed  
🗑
Parasitism   one dependent and benefits, other harmed  
🗑
Nonsymbiotic   organisms are free living, not required for survival  
🗑
Synergism   members cooperate and share nutrients  
🗑
Antagonism   some member are inhibited or destroyed by others  
🗑
Rate population growth   time required for complete fission cycle → generation  
🗑
Methods of analyzing population growth   Turbidometry, Viable colony count- single cells grow into colonies, count colonies, Direct cell count, count all cells present  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
