Study Notes
Microorganism Nutrition
- Autotrophs are not a nutritional category of microorganisms, as they are organisms that produce their own food from inorganic substances.
Heterotrophs
- Obtain energy from the metabolic conversion of nutrients from other organisms.
Laboratory Tools
- Transport media is used to grow, transport, and store microorganisms in the lab.
Cellular Processes
- Active transport involves the transport of necessary nutrients across the cell membrane of microorganisms with the use of energy.
Phototrophs
- Utilize sunlight as an energy source.
