Metabolic Pathway of Microorganisms - Principles of Respiration
5 important questions on Metabolic Pathway of Microorganisms - Principles of Respiration
What are two mechanisms of anaerobic catabolism?
- Anaerobic respiration
- Fermentation
What is anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is when electron acceptors other than oxygen are present to accept electrons generated from the oxidation of electron donors. Less energy yield than with oxygen, but it is still considerable.
Why is more energy available from aerobic respiration than from anaerobic respiration?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Which alternative electron acceptors are used by facultative organisms when O2 is limiting?
In what form does reducing power occur and for what is it used?
Reducing power is used to reduce inorganic compounds, so that they can be used as sources of N, S, and C in new cell material.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
