Document Summary
Avery welch microbiology week 10 chapter 13 notes. Fermentation (not respiration: uses an endogenous (inside cell) electron acceptor (like pyruvate) Usually an intermediate of the pathway used to oxidize the organic energy source: no electron transport chain, atp synthesized only by substrate-level phosphorylation. Po4 is transferred to adp from a high energy molecule (ie. phosphoenol, pyruvate, pep) Energy sources: many different energy sources (like substrates) are funneled into common degradative pathways, most pathways generate glucose or intermediates of the pathways used in glucose metabolism, having only a few pathways greatly increases metabolic efficiency. Catabolic pathways: enzyme catalyzed reactions whereby the product of one reaction serves as the substrate for the next, pathways also provide materials for biosynthesis. Amphibolic pathways: function both as catabolic and anabolic pathways, important ones. Aerobic respiration: process that can completely catabolize an organic energy source to co2 using. Etc with oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
