  1. ENERGY METABOLISM

  2. DEFINE: ASSIMILATION - BIOSYNTHESIS OR CONVERSION OF NUTRIENTS TO CELL MASS- ENERGY REQUIRING DISSIMILATION - ACT OF BREAKING DOWN COMPONENTS TO SMALLER PARTS - USUALLY ENERGY YIELDING

  3. MOST COMMON ENERY PATHWAYS USED BY MICROORGANISMS FERMENTATION AEROBIC RESPIRATION ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION PHOTOSYNTHESIS

  4. ENZYMES CHARACTERISTICS BIOLOGICAL CATALYST CHEMICAL COMPOSITION IS PROTEIN LOWER ENERGY OF ACTIVIATION FOR CHEMICAL REACTIONS NOT ALTERED IN THE REACTIONS INCREASE THE RATE OF THE REACTION HIGHLY SPECIFIC

  5. FERMENTATION DEFINITION - THAT SERIES OF ENERGY YIELDING BIOLOGICAL OX/RED REACTIONS IN WHICH ORGANIC CHEMICALS SERVE AS BOTH THE ELECTRON DONOR AND THE FINAL ELECTRON ACCEPTOR. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PATHWAY LOW ENERGY YIELD - ONLY 2 MOLECULES OF ATP PRODUCED PER MOLECULE OF CARBOHYDRATE FERMENTTED- NO ETS

  6. - PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS • ORGANIC ACIDS • ALCOHOLS • GASES – CARBON DIOXIDE AND HYDROGEN • ATP -MOST COMMON SUBSTRATES FERMENTED ARE CARBOHYDRATES. -PATHWAY OCCURS IN THE CYTOPLASM OF CELLS AND NOT IN THE MITOCHONDRIA

  7. -OXYGEN GAS IS NOT REQUIRED BUT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH FERMENTATION -UNIQUELY MICROBIAL

  8. FERMENTATION CAN YIELD SINGLE PRODUCTS (HOMOFERMENTATIONS) OR MULTIPLE PRODUCTS (HETEROFERMENTATIONS)

  9. AEROBIC RESPIRATION DEFINITION - THE ENERGY YIELDING PROCESS IN WHICH OXYGEN GAS SERVES AS THE FINAL ELECTRON ACCEPTOR. USUALLY, A CARBOHYDRATE SERVES AS THE INITIAL ELECTRON DONOR. HIGH ENERGY PATHWAY - 36-38 ATP PRODUCED PER MOLECULE OF CARBOHYDRATE RESPIRED PART OF THE PATHWAY OCCURS IN THE CYTOPLASM AND PART IN THE MITOCHONDRIA.

  10. PRODUCTS OF THE PATHWAY ARE CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER, AND ATP

  11. A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ETS CYTOCHROME C IS MISSING IN THE ETS OF SOME BACTERIA. THESE BACTERIA ARE SAID TO BE OXIDASE NEGATIVE. THOSE WHICH HAVE CYTOCHROME C IN THEIR ETS ARE SAID TO BE OXIDASE POSITIVE.

  12. OXIDATION OF INORGANIC COMPOUNDS A SPECIAL MODIFIED TYPE OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION CHEMOAUTOTROPHS USE THIS TYPE OF RESPIRATION CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS SUCH AS H2, NH3, AND H2S CAN BE RESPIRED AND ATP CAN BE ACQUIRED BY THE ORGANISM.

  13. MANY OF THE ORGANISMS FOUND AT THE DEEP THERMAL OCEAN VENTS ARE CHEMOAUTOTROPHS. pp. 160 in text • H2S AND CO2 ARE AVAILABLE THERE. • H2S + O2 SO4-- + ENERGY • CO2 + R CH2O

  14. ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION THERE IS NO SINGLE COMMON PATHWAY INITIAL ELECTRON DONOR CAN BE ORGANIC OR INORGANIC FINAL ELECTRON ACCEPTOR IS ALWAYS AN INORGANIC COMPOUND THAT IS RICH IN ELEMENTAL OXYGEN. EXAMPLES ARE: NO3-, SO4--, C03-- THE AMOUNT OF ATP GENERATED PER MOLECULE OF SUBSTRATE RESPIRED VARIES.

  15. ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION (CONT.) THE ATP GENERATED IS NEVER AS MUCH AS IN AEROBIC RESPIRATION BUT NEVER AS LITTLE AS IN FERMENTATION.

  16. PHOTOSYNTHESIS THIS ENERGY PATHWAY USES LIGHT AS THE ENERGY SOURCE CLASSICAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS AS SEEN IN PLANTS AND ALGAE WATER IS USED AS THE INITIAL ELECTRON DONOR CARBON DIOXIDE IS THE FINAL ELECTRON ACCEPTOR PRODUCTS ARE CARBOHYDRATE, OXYGEN GAS AND WATER. THERE IS NO NET PRODUCTION OF ATP.

  17. CLASSICAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS: • 6CO2 + 12H2O + LIGHT ENERGY = + CHLOROPHYLL A C6H1206 + 6O2 + 6H20

  18. PHOTOAUTOTROPHS • PLANTS, ALGAE AND SOME BACTERIA ARE PHOTOAUTOTROPHS • CLASSICAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS IS USED BY ALL PLANTS, ALGAE, AND SOME BACTERIA (CYANOBACTERIA). • THERE ARE SOME BACTERIA IN THE PHOTOAUTOTROPH GROUP THAT USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS. • ANAEROBIC, OXYGEN GAS IS NEVER PRODUCED

  19. H2S IS USED AS THE INITIAL ELECTRON DONOR, NOT WATER A BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL IS USED AS THE LIGHT CAPTURING PIGMENT PRODUCTS ARE: CARBOHYDRATE, WATER, AND ELEMENTAL SULFUR. BC ABSORBS LIGHT OF LONGER WAVELENGHTHS THAN CLASSICAL CHLOROPHYLL A. CHEMICAL STRUCTURE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. CALLED GREEN AND PURPLE SULFUR BACTERIA

  20. THIS TYPE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS: • 2H2S + CO2 + LIGHT ENERGY = C6H1206 + 2S + H2O • BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL IS USED AS LIGHT CAPTURING PIGMENT

  21. PHOTOHETEROTROPHS ONLY A FEW BACTERIA IN THIS GROUP THEY USE ORGANIC ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS AS THE INITIAL ELECTRON DONORS. FINAL ELECTRON ACCEPTOR IS CARBON DIOXIDE. PRODUCTS: CARBOHYDRATE, AND OXIDIZED ORGANIC ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS.

  22. CALLED GREEN AND PURPLE NON-SULFUR BACTERIA THIS TYPE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS: CO2 + ORGANIC ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS= C6H1206 +OXIDIXED ORGANIC ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL IS USED AS LIGHT CAPTURING PIGMENT
