Nutrient requirement, Primary and Secondary metabolism

Photoautotrophs obtain their energy from

(a)  

photoautotrophs obtain their carbon source from

(a)  

Chemolithoautotrophs are

• Obtain energy from inorganic compound and obtain carbon source from carbon dioxide

• Obtain energy from organic compound and obtain carbon from carbon dioxide

• Obtain energy from inorganic compound and obtain carbon source from organic carbon

• Obtain energy from organic compound and obtain carbon from organic carbon

Organism that was capable of obtaining their carbon from fixing atmospheric CO₂ to cell carbon

• autotrophs

• photoheterotroph

• chemoheterotroph

• mixotrophs

Organims that obtain their C from organic compounds and energy from the sunlight are referred as

• chemoautotrophs

• photoheterotroph

• photoautotrophs

• chemoorganotrophs

Cyanobacteria is a photosynthetic bacteria and also (a)   (microbial nutrient)

Discuss the following,

Base on the picture, is it a primary metabolite or secondary metabolite?

Which phase of the microbial growth does this metabolite produce?

Is this metabolite is a precursor or need a precursor to be produce?

The precursor is from the primary metabolism or secondary metabolism?

The following are correct base on the picture above (can choose more than one answer)

• This is a primary metabolite

• This is a secondary metabolite

• This is produce by primary metabolism

• This is produce by secondary metabolism

• This metabolite is a precursor

Why are we learning about the metabolism and the variety of nutrient requirement of the microbes?
