Cereibacter sphaeroides

Question 1

What is the electron acceptor for aerobic respiration in C. sphaeroides

Answer 1

O2

Question 2

What is the initial electron donor for C. sphaeroides?

Answer 2

Acetate

Question 3

Principle of respiration

Answer 3

Chemical energy is converted to biological energy

Reduced electron carrying cofactors generated during the oxidation of an initial electron donor are reoxidized by the transfer of electrons to a terminal electron acceptor

The electrons are transferred to the terminal electron acceptor via an electron transport chain

Question 4

Energy is conserved how in respiration?

Answer 4

Oxidative phosphorylation

Question 5

Why is there more phototrophic growth?

Answer 5

The cell can use all of the carbon source for cell carbon instead of as an energy source
