Which chemicals are useful for energy storage on a short-term basis? Which are for intermediate term and which are for long term?

A microorganism is grown in a fermenter under steady-state conditions. The microorganism growth follows Monod kinetics and the following stoichiometric equation: C3H6O3 +a O2 +b NH3 → c biomass + d CO2 + e H₂O Given that the biomass yield is 0.415 grams of biomass per gram of substrate, determine the respiratory quotient.

In what ways can CO2 inhibit microbial growth?

the energy used to obtain, transfer, and transport materials within an organism comes directly from

The N excess/deficit factor for 100 kg of an organic material that contained 60% C (carbon) and 0.5% N (nitrogen) would likely be (assuming that 35% of the carbon is metabolized by microorganisms and the carbon and nitrogen are assimilated in a 10:1 ratio). -3.85 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -1.05 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -2.50 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -1.60 kg (deficit, N immobilization) -2.15 kg (deficit, N immobilization)

What are modes of energy utilisation in organisms?

What type of energy is wasted from most electrical and mechanical appliances?

When ATP becomes ADP   Question 38 options:   a)  ATP gains a phosphate group.   b)  energy is released.   c)  None of the above   d)  energy is harnessed for storage in the ADP molecule.

Differentiate between the following:a. anabolism and catabolism b. fermentation and respiration c.aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Consider a 96 kg adult, who is overweight. Weight loss would improve their general health and wellbeing.   If 35 % of the body mass of this 96 kg adult consists of TGs (in adipose tissue), what is the total available fuel reserve, in kJ and kcal, in the form of TGs? Assume energy value of TGs = 37.4 kJ/g 1 kJ = 0.239 kcal
