- “The mechanistic complexity of nitrogenase is necessary because nitrogen fixation is a thermodynamically unfavorable process.” True or false? Explainarrow_forwardNutrients (such as N, P. K) are important for the increase in net primary production which will be used by the consumers for growth and reproduction. In an aquaculture pond, why is it disadvantageous to exceed the saturation levels of fish feed (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins) for the growth of aquaculture fishes. What are effects of this activity in the aquatic environment and organisms. Discuss in light of the lecture made earlier about productivity and nutrient cycling?arrow_forwardFor many years, the total number of molecules of ATP produced for each molecule of glucose in aerobic respiration was given as 38. Later, it was estimated to be closer to 36, and now it is believed tobe closer to 30. What factors must be considered in estimating the yield of ATP molecules? Why are the recent numbers considered to be approximate values?arrow_forward
- For Pyruvate Decarboxylation (Link Reaction), what are steps of cellular respiration for both aerobic (oxygen present) and anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration. what are the Inputs and Outputs: Clearly indicate the key substrates, intermediates, and products at each stage. Location: Show where this stage of cellular respiration occurs within the cell (e.g., cytoplasm, mitochondria). Energy Production: Highlight the ATP and NADH production at this stage. Oxygen: Show where oxygen is used in the process (e.g., ETC) and where carbon dioxide is produced. Electron Carriers: Indicate the role of electron carriers such as NAD+ and FAD in transferring eleDiagrams: Use diagrams or icons to represent the structures and molecules involved, such as the mitochondria, glucose, ATP, and oxygen. Key Information like important facts or formulas relevant to cellular respiration, like the chemical equations for each stage.arrow_forwardHow does the “investment phase” of glycolysis effect the net yield of ATP in that pathway?arrow_forwardFor Electron Transport Chain (ETC), what are steps of cellular respiration for both aerobic (oxygen present) and anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration. what are the Inputs and Outputs: Clearly indicate the key substrates, intermediates, and products at each stage.

- Describe a possible progression of four microbial metabolic types on planet earth, beginning with what is believed to be a primitive metabolic type found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents. For each of the four metabolic types that you will name, detail the source and origin of energy, electrons, and carbon. Remember that redox reactions need both a donor and acceptor. For each transition between metabolic types, outline the selective measures or chemical environmental changes that led to the emergence of the considered metabolic types. One of these transitions should be linked to the rise of oxygen levels on the planet. Conclude by discussing the role of a microbial group that fundamentally influenced the evolution of life on earth. Specifically, discuss the role of this microbial group in: i) setting the chemical boundaries of life, ii) facilitating the development of complex eukaryotic metabolisms, and iii) promoting the habitability of terrestrial ecosystems.arrow_forwardDefine nutrient cycling and nutrient budget. How is nutrient cycling different from energy transfer?arrow_forwardHow can estimation of energy flow from plant to herbivore be correlated to laws of thermodynamics?arrow_forward
- We have seen that energy is essential for life on earth. All organisms need energy to maintain their cellular processes. There are two basic ways of generating energy de novo, at the base of food webs. Describe the two primary ways that autotrophic organisms generate energy, including the original source of energy and the primary organisms that carry out each process.arrow_forwardWhat metabolic products are formed from pyruvate in each case: a) anaerobic conditions in the body b) anaerobic conditions in yeast c) aerobic conditionsarrow_forwardOutline the chemiosmotic hypothesis for the mechanism by which oxidative phosphorylation is coupled with electron transport. How does uncoupling occur in tissues with uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)? Under what circumstances would uncoupling be disadvantageous, and under what circumstances might it be advantageous?arrow_forward
