BIOS 242 Week 3 Assignment; Microbial Nutrition
1. The organisms that can use inorganic carbon and the energy of
chemical reactions Autotrophs.
2. A Photoheterotrophs requires organic molecules for carbon and
energy from sunlight.
3. During Osmosis transport water transfers through
semipermeable following concentration gradient.
4. Microorganisms living in soil and water associated with volcanic
activity, compost piles, habitats directly exposed to the sun are
thermophiles.
5. In active transport nutrients are transported against the diffusion gradient
or in the same direction as the natural gradient but at a faster rate with
energy expenditure
6. A hypotonic environment has a higher concentration of solutes outside
the cell than inside the cell.
