Aerobic Respiration
|
In aerobic respiration 02 functions as the final electron acceptor
|
|
Anaerobic Respiration
|
In anaerobic resp. the final electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule other than 02
|
|
Fermentation
|
the enzymatic degradation of carbohydrates in which the final electron acceptor is an organic molecule, ATP is synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation and o2 is not required.
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy; the chemical energy is used for carbon fixation.
|
|
Biosynthetic mechanisms
|
Polysaccharide biosynthesis
glycogen from from ADPG UDPNFAc is the starting material fro the biosynthesis for peptidoglycan |
|
Lipid Biosynthesis
|
lipids are synthesized from fatty acids and glycerol.
Glycerol is derived from dihydroxyacetone phosphate, and fatty acids are buld from acetyl COa |
|
Amino Acid and Protein Biosynthesis
|
amino acids are required for protein biosynthesis.All amino acids can be synthesized either directly or indirectly from intermidiates of carbohydrate metabolism, particularly from krebs cycle.
