BIOL3149 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Citric Acid Cycle, Exponential Growth, Glycerol
Document Summary
Separates cytoplasm from everything outside of the cell. Off the glycerol are the fatty acid chains (chains of ch2) 1x10^14 cells in bacteria = 1g of cells after another 24 hrs 1x10^7 tons of cells. Essential nutrients are in short supply so cells cant get all the supplies they need to keep having exponential growth like this. Ions bind to protein, create gradients, need these things to keep alive. Some micronutrients you need in trace amounts, cobalt, zinc. You get your carbon sources from another organism. When you"re a heterotroph you utilize things like glycolysis. Way to make the energy sources of life, atp. This is the goal of all organisms, everything uses atp. At the end of this cycle you end up with. Examples will be things i ask you about, specific protein examples for transport. Outside the cell membrane, you have a high concentration [] of a molecule.
