Exam 2: Bacterial Genetics, Metabolism, and Structure

If a bacterial cell encounters unfavorable environmental conditions, then its metabolism will begin to slow until it eventually transforms into an inactive, dormant state.This survival mechanism is known as:

The term used when oxidative phosphorylation uses oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor is:

A pathway that generates ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation that does not require oxygen and produces various end products, including alcohols, acids, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen, is:

Transduction is defined as the:

Recombination is defined as the:
