* Ex: Most non photosynthetic microbes, including pathogens, fungi, & many protists
What are all pathogens? - ✔️✔️* CHEMOORGANOHETEROTROPHS
* they do fermentation in the human body
What are two ways to generate energy for Chemoorganoheterotrophs? - ✔️✔️* respiration &
fermentation
What is respiration? - ✔️✔️* Use organic molecules as their source of energy & electrons
* Take electrons from the organic molecules & move them through an ETC
- Can be used as starting points for biosynthesis
What is fermentation? - ✔️✔️* anaerobic process, NO ETC
* making ATP in cytoplasm w/ substrate level phosphorylation
* Does not occur photolithoautotroph & chemolithoautotrophs
* Use an organic energy & electron source, adding phosphate groups, adding ADP to make ATP
What is glycolosis? - ✔️✔️* fermentation
* Takes place in the cytoplasm for bacteria & eukaryotes
* You have to invest energy to make this process happen
- Put in ATP & get back 4 ATP for an overall yield of 2 ATP
* Breaking D-Glucose down into forms of carbon
* Making soluble electron carriers to go into the ETC (NADH)
