Bacterial Metabolism part 1

The series of biochemical reactions by which the cell breaks down or biosynthesizes various metabolites.

Release of free energy (ATP)

• Exergonic

• Endergonic

Requires free energy

Energy-yielding reactions part of metabolism

• Metabolism

• Anabolism

• Catabolism

Its cell carbon is obtained from the use of carbon dioxide as its carbon source

• Organotroph

• Heterotroph

• Autotroph

• Lithotroph

known as primary producers because they

synthesize new organic matter from inorganic

carbon (CO2)

Most chemolithotrophs and phototrophs

Its cell carbon is obtained from one or another

organic compound

• Heterotroph
