Microbial Metabolism

1. Reduced form of 4 down
3. Energy currency of the cell
8. This kind of energy is needed to form or break chemical bonds and convert reactants to products
10. All animals; energy source is chemical and carbon source is organic
11. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, most common mobile electron carrier used to catabolism, oxidized form
14. Term used to describe the chemical reactions inside a cell
16. Type of reaction that is spontaneous and releases energy
17. Endergonic metabolic pathway involved in biosynthesis

2. Organisms that convert inorganic CO2 into organic carbon compounds
4. Oxidized form of flavin adenine dinucleotide
5. Exergonic metabolic pathway that breaks down complex organisms into simpler ones
6. Type of reaction that requires energy
7. Oxidized form/variant that contains an extra phosphate group
9. This type of reaction adds electrons to acceptor molecules
12. Organisms that rely on more complex organic compounds as nutrients
13. Reduced form of 11 across
15. This type of reaction removes electrons from donor molecules
