3. The growth rate of the phototrophic purple bacterium Rhodobacter is about twice as fast when the bug is grown phototrophicall

y in a medium with malate as the carbon source as when it is grown with carbon dioxide as the carbon source (with H2 as the electron donor). Discuss why this is true and list the nutritional class in which we would place Rhodobacter in these two different conditions.

Answer

Malate (a citric acid cycle intermediate) can be used as a source of carbon for Rhodobacter by using the ATP formed from cyclic photophosphorylation for growth (no need to reduce C02 to cell materiatis). It also accelerate growth rates of the organism and the Rhodobacter can be said to grow PHOTOHETEROTROPHICALLY.

In the absence of Malate, it uses CO2 and H2 for growth, thereby growing PHOTOAUTOTROPHICALLY. Unlike when malate is used, ATP is used for CO2 fixation, which slows the organism cellular growth rate.

Answer:

Stored as fat

Explanation:

The body requires a variety of macro nutrients for building blocks to fortify the body and keep it functioning. One of the important building blocks are amino acids that are derived from proteins. These are broken down in the stomach by protein digestion enzymes by amylase, proteases and hydrochloric acid.

In the even that the body has taken in too many units of protein this will be stored in the liver as glycogen. This is a form of "animal carbohydrate" or "animal sugar."

The glycogen stores will remain there for a reservoir for energy whenever the body requires it. In the event of overeating the body will store the glycogen in a more concentrated form, fat via the fatty acid synthesis pathway.
