Document Summary
In bacteria, protons will accumulate in the periplasm which is a very densely packed environment, limiting diffusion. ** atpase and atp synthase can be used interchangeably when the protons are being pumped from the outside to the inside of the cell. The metabolic diversity seen in microbes is not seen in eukaryotes. This diversity comes from the evolution of organisms. The ones attached to the red branches are archaea and the ones attached to the blue are bacteria, the coloured circles indicate phyla that contain at least one species with a functional trait indicated in the key colour. Photosynthesis: conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Phototrophs: organisms that carry out photosynthesis: phototrophic organisms are also autotrophs. Photoautotrophy: capable of growing with co2 as the sole carbon source: some phototrophs are also able to grow using organic carbon sources- photoheterotrophy.
