Exam 7: Microbial Metabolism

A patient with anorexia nervosa is admitted to the hospital for medical treatment. The patient presents with severe malnutrition and evidence of organ dysfunction. Labs are drawn and continuous intravenous (IV) fluids are initiated. -The RN instructs the patient that although bacterial cells can also undergo aerobic respiration,they differ from eukaryotic cells in that ________.

Fatty acids can be converted to acetyl-CoA for entering the Krebs cycle by the process of ________.

Important components of coenzymes are ________.

Which of the following does not reflect anabolism?

The breakdown of peptidoglycan to N-acetylmuramic acid,N-acetylglucosamine,and peptides is an example of ________.

ATP is composed of deoxyribose,adenine,and three phosphate groups.

Which of the following is not true of anaerobic respiration?

Reactants are converted to products by ________.

Which of the following is not true regarding glycolysis?

During which phase of cellular respiration is the majority of ATP formed?

A patient with anorexia nervosa is admitted to the hospital for medical treatment. The patient presents with severe malnutrition and evidence of organ dysfunction. Labs are drawn and continuous intravenous (IV) fluids are initiated. -The RN prepares to initiate IV fluid therapy for the patient.Knowing the importance of cellular energy production,which of the following maintenance IV fluids would be most appropriate for the physician to order? 

Reduction of nitrogen-oxygen ions,such as nitrate,by some bacteria is called ________.

An apoenzyme is ________.

All of the chemical reactions of the cell are called ________.

In the electron transport chain,the collective,captured energy released by electrons is used to phosphorylate ________.

During aerobic cellular respiration,the final electron acceptor is ________.

A 67-year-old patient with severe sepsis undergoes a full infectious workup upon admittance to the intensive care unit. Cultures of urine, blood, sputum, and cerebral spinal fluid are obtained. The cultures do not yield a specific organism, so further analysis of the sample is done to determine the characteristics of the microorganism. The organism's metabolic processes are analyzed in the lab. -The organism sample is further tested and found to grow in the absence of oxygen.Which of three main pathways of catabolism may this organism utilize to produce energy under these circumstances?

In a bacterial cell,synthesis of an essential amino acid would take place continually unless the amino acid was abundant in the growth media,in which case ________.

Deamination is the removal of a(n)________ group in proteins.
