Question
Chapter 7, Problem 14Q
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The major catabolic strategy possessed by Last Common Ancestor.
Concept introduction:
The organisms acquire energy by consuming the food and converting it into smaller particles and generate energy. The energy is used further for the construction of other
Catabolism refers to all the destructive processes of the body, in which energy releases. Complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones in catabolism. Energy releases in this process. Catabolic exercises are associated with burning calories. Hormones that function in catabolism include cortisol, adrenaline, glucagon, and cytokines.

For you master's degree you have joined a lab that seeks to identify and investigate novel organisms
that can survive in rare and challenging environments. You will be working with a research associate
in the lab to continue characterizing cultured cells (e.g – cells grown in a dish) isolated cells from a
complex multicellular eukaryotic organism Onlinus extremus.
Preliminary evidence from research in the laboratory has shown that O.Extremus is capable of both
fermentation and cellular respiration. While they can survive on a wide variety of questionably food-
like fuel sources, like most other eukaryotic organisms', glucose is its preferred fuel source.
Practice question 1
and begin expanding the culture (increasing the # of cells) so that you may later conduct experiments
on them. You take two aliquots, each with an equal number of cells, and place them in two different
culture vessels, one is a sealed airtight flask (culture 1) and the other is an open topped culture dish
(culture…
An organism is discovered living near hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean where sunlight cannot
reach. It is found to gain energy through the oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds present in its
environment and uses this energy to turn CO2 into complex organic compounds. Based on this
information, how would this organism be best categorized metabolically?
