What are 3 ways microbes get ATP? |
1. Aerobic respiration 2. Anaerobic respiration 3. Fermentation |
|
|
Why do microbes oxidize carbohydrates? What is, the breakdown of sugar molecules to produce energy for cellular reactions, called? What is the most common carbohydrate for energy? |
- for cellular energy (ultimately to create ATP) - carbohydrate catabolism - glucose is the most common carbohydrate for energy. (Picture above) |
|
|
Cells use these 2 processes to produce energy from breaking down glucose... What is the Embden-Meyerhof pathway? What is the first step in the process of harvesting electrons (oxidizing) from glucose? |
- cellular respiration (requires oxygen) and fermentation (does not require oxygen) - The metabolic pathway known as glycolysis - glycolysis is the first step |
