Chapter 5: Microbial Metabolism Below you will find answers to the "Review" study questions found at the end of this chapter in Microbiology: An Introduction, 7th edition. 1. Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism. 2. Catabolic reactions break down organic compounds and release energy, while anabolic reactions use the products of catabolism and energy to build cell material. 3. 4. a. When the enzyme and substrate combine, the substrate molecule will be transformed. b. When the competitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme, the enzyme will not be able to bind with the substrate. c. When the noncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme, the active site of the enzyme will be changed so the enzyme cannot bind with the substrate. d. The noncompetitive inhibitor. 5. (a) is the Calvin-Benson cycle, (b) is glycolysis, and (c) is the Krebs cycle. 6. Glycerol is catabolized by pathway (b) as dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Fatty acids by pathway (c) as acetyl groups. 7. In pathway (c) at -ketoglutaric acid. 8. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate from the Calvin-Benson cycle enters glycolysis. Pyruvic acid from glycolysis is decarboxylated to produce acetyl for the Krebs cycle. 9. In (a), between glucose and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. 10. The conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl, isocitric acid to -ketoglutaric acid, and -ketoglutaric acid to succinyl~CoA. 11. By pathway (c) as acetyl groups. 12. Uses Calvin-Benson cycle Produces 6 NADPH Glycolysis 2 NADH Pyruvic acid--------->acetyl 1 NADH Isocitric acid---------> 1 NADH -ketoglutaric acid -ketoglutaric acid--------->Succinyl~CoA 1 NADH Succinic acid--------->Fumaric acid 1 FADH2 Malic acid--------->Oxaloacetic acid 1 NADH 13. 14. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate; acetyl; oxaloacetic acid; -ketoglutaric acid. 15. The optimum temperature for an enzyme is one that favors movement of molecules so the enzyme can "find" its substrate. Lower temperatures will decrease the rate of collisions and the rate of reactions. Increased temperatures will denature the enzyme. 16. Ethyl alcohol, lactic acid, butyl alcohol, acetone, and glycerol are some of the possible products. Refer to Table 5.4 and Figure 5.18b. 17. Organism Carbon Source Energy Source Photoautotroph CO2 Light Photoheterotroph Organic molecules Light Chemoautotroph CO2 Inorganic molecules Chemoheterotroph Organic molecules Organic molecules 18. 19. ATP generated by Reaction Photophosphorylation An electron, liberated from chlorophyll by light, is passed down an electron transport chain. Oxidative phosphorylation Cytochrome c passes two electrons to cytochrome a. Substrate-level phosphorylation 20. 21. a. Oxidation-reduction: A coupled reaction in which one substance is oxidized and one is reduced. b. The final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is molecular oxygen; in anaerobic respiration, it is another inorganic molecule. c. In cyclic photophosphorylation, electrons are returned to chlorophyll. In noncyclic photophosphorylation, chlorophyll receives electrons from hydrogen atoms. 22. The pentose phosphate pathway produces pentoses for the synthesis of nucleic acids, precursors for the synthesis of glucose by photosynthesizing organisms, precursors in the synthesis of certain amino acids, and NADPH. 23. Oxidation 24. Reactions requiring ATP are coupled with reactions that produce ATP. 25. The reaction rate will increase until the enzymes are saturated.
