Document Summary

Macronutrients required for biosynthesis: c, h, n, o, p, s. Required for the synthesis of all organics: organics carbon hydrogen bond. o. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, phenols, etc. Required for the synthesis of: nucleic acids, phospholipids, atp. Required for the synthesis of: amino acids, nucleic acids, peptidoglycan necessary for cell wall. Sources: organic amino acids o. Required for the synthesis of: amino acids cysteine and methionine, vitamins thiamine and biotin; essential for most organisms. Sources: organic amino acids cysteine and methionine o. Required for the synthesis of all organics o. Sources: organic any organic compound; mostly used heterotrophs. o. Inorganic h2 (methanogens can only this archaea bacteria) and h2o (mainly autotrophs) Carbon source: heterotrophs preformed organic molecules, autotrophs inorganic molecules co2 and co. Chemotrophs oxidation of either organic or inorganic compounds. Source of electrons: organotrophs reduced organic molecules o.
