Ch06

1. organisms that thrive in acidic environment.
4. use CO2 as a carbon source and are able synthesize their own food.
6. an organism that must obtain its carbon from organic molecules.
8. organisms that grow best at a higher CO2 amount than is normally present in the atmosphere.
12. : Contains Carbon C an hydrogen H atoms.
13. present in much SMALLER amounts and are involved in enzyme function and
14. stabilizes ribosome structure and assists with enzyme function.
15. organism that gets carbon CO2, and it can make its own food.
16. grow slowly in the cold but have an optimum temperature.
17. require a small amount of oxygen for metabolism.

2. produces organic molecules like sugars, using CO2 as carbon source that be used by themselves and by heterotroph.
3. Nutrients: any substance that MUST be provided to an organism.
5. derive nutrients from the cells or tissues of a living host not beneficial to the organism losing the nutrients.
7. of protein structure.
9. the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
10. nutrients: an atom or simple molecule that contains a combination of atoms other than (carbon) and H (hydrogen.
11. transport: the transport of nutrients from a low concentration to high concentration.
