Metabolic Diversity
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Types of Energy | ATP, NAD, e-, FAD, NADP |
| Glycolysis Occurs in... | Cytoplasm of all cells |
| Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle occurs in... | Cytoplasm of prokaryotes, mitochondria in eukaryotes |
| Electron Transport Chain (ETP) occurs in... | Membranes of prokaryotes, mitochondria of eukaryotes |
| Final e- Acceptor in Fermentation | Pyruvic acid (recall Glycolysis) |
| Final e- Acceptor in Anaerobic Respiration | Inorganic molecules |
| Final e- Acceptor in Aerobic Respiration | Oxygen (reduced to H2O) |
| Autotroph | Carbon from CO2 for energy |
| Heterotroph | Carbon from organic compounds for energy |
| Chemotroph | ATP from chemical reactions |
| Phototroph | Energy from light |
| Phycobilisomes | Found in cyanobacteria, function to obtain energy from low light intensities |
| Photophosphorylation | Production of ATP in photosynthesis |
| (T or F) Purple bacteria can grow from the formation of ATP | False. Pruple bacteria do need ATP, but CO2 must be reduced by NADH. |
| Oxygenic Phototrophs | Generate both ATP and NADPH |
