| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The diverse progenote or L.U.C.A.population | produced for familiar 'Tree of life'. Separate divergence would be mixed by lateral gene transfer |
| The basal progenote lineage could be more like a | mangrove than a regular tree |
| We can conclude that the 3 divisions of life have common ancestry, reinforced by | a history of LGT n cell> fusion. |
| LGT | lateral gene transfer |
| An example of lateral gene transfer happening now | antibiotic resistance |
| As a result of shared ancestry + LGT + divergence | metabolism is both conserved and enormously diverse in different species |
| Enzymes catalyze reactions making specific reactions | faster than others. The same enzymes will catalyze the reverse reaction, but if the product of one reaction is the substrate for another enzyme, then equilibrium will tend to shift one way |
| Molecules that lose electron energy are | oxidized. also seen as a lost of atoms. These 'electron donors' can hand electrons to molecules that gain electron energy. These are reduced |
| Molecules made in one pathway can be | dropped into another pathway |
| Glycolysis is probably the most | conserved (ancient) metabolic pathway that has survived to this day |
| anaerobic respiration: | NADH is oxidized (loses electrons) > NAD+ to recycle it |
| Reactions (rxns) are | reversible and will reverse according to supply and demand |
| In aerobic respiration | Pyruvate > CO2, NADH and Acetyl. Acetyl goes into the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs) which lets out Co2, ATP, FADH2 and several NADH |
| In retrograde evolution: | biochemical pathways may have evolved by adding the 'first' steps later on -- via selection for ways to replace molecules being depleted |
| Glycolysis: | Glucouse----> 2 ATP 2NADH----> 2 Pyruvates |
| Depleted of H-rich carbon compounds could --> | retrograde evolutionary selection for untapped resources for making C(H2O) compounds. |
| IN addition to making C(H2O) by fixing CO2, many photosynthetic bacteria make | ATP by a cyclic photophosphorolation form of the light reactions. |
