Document Summary

Inorganic molecules are electron donors (iron: organotrophs, organic molecules are electron donors (glucose, ultimate electron acceptor. Inorganic molecules (nitrate and oxygen: respiration, organic molecules (pyruvate) Light energy excites electrons: excited molecules are electron donors, chemotrophs, chemicals are electron donors, oxidation of chemical, oxidation = donation of electrons, nutrients, macronutrients, major elements in cell macromolecules, c,h,o,n,p,s. Advantage: phototrophs - contain pigments that allow them to use light as energy. Advantage: carbon sources, heterotrophs - carbon source is organic compounds, autotrophs - carbon source is carbon dioxide. These terms can be combined to more completely describe an organism. Example- photoautotroph obtains energy from light & carbon from carbon dioxide. Nutrient uptake: passive diffusion, some substances pass freely through membranes, o2, co2, follows gradient of material, facilitated diffusion, transporters pass material into/out of cell, follows gradient of material. Glucose enters cells and is phosporylated becomes glucose 6 phosphate, as a result gradient puts more glucose into the cell.
