MCB 3020 Exam TWO Study guide
1. List the laws of thermodynamic and describe their relevance in the chemical reactions
2. Define the standard reduction potential. Why aerobic grow generates the highest amount of energy (ATP). How this value plays a role in organization of electron transport system. Compare Eo of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
3. Describe the flow of electron in fermentation and respiration. What happened to the electron in each of the above processes
4. Describe how enzymes are involved in chemical reactions. (activation energy, lowering Eo
5. Define apoenzyme andcofactor. What is the significance of cofactors? How enzymatic activities are regulated or inhibited
6. List and describe effects of environmental factors on enzymatic activities. How?
7. List groups of organisms based on their energy source, carbon source and the source of electron
8. Compare respiration and fermentation; ATP synthesis, pathways, ETS, Electron donor, electron carriers, electron acceptors, and amount of ATP produced
9. Define/describe/explain proton gradient, proton motive force
10. Define and list different form of phosphorylation. Which one is associated with glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport system
11. Define and list amphibolic pathways
12. List and describe and compare three common routes of glucose conversion to pyruvate
13. What is the significance of glycolysis and TCA cycle in providing skeleton carbon to the cell? How anabolism and catabolism intertwined in glycolysis and TCA cycle
14. Energy from PMF can be used in/for:
15. List possible molecules that are used as final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration
16. List several possible end products of fermentation
17. What are the environmental impact of sulfur-oxidation, nitrification, assimilatory nitrate reduction, and de-nitrification
18. List and Describe how cells may use intracellular
