Study Notes

Metabolism

Metabolism includes all chemical reactions within a cell, comprising two main processes.
Anabolism: chemical reactions that build up cell structures and constituents, requiring energy.
Catabolism: chemical reactions that break down macromolecules into smaller ones, producing energy.

Energy Production in Microorganisms

Energy in microorganisms is produced in the form of ATP through three ways, dependent on the type of electron acceptor.
