Diversity of Life – Metabolism
Organisms that can make own food = autotrophs (“self feeders”) Organisms that must eat other organisms or organic matter for food = heterotrophs
![Page 21: Diversity of Life. Kingdom Diversity of Life using ribosomal RNA sequence Carl Woese](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5e97a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
7 different types of pathways possible 4 heterotrophic:
Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration Nitrogen fixation Anaerobic ammonium oxidation
3 autotrophic: Light-mediated ATP synthesis Photosynthesis Chemosynthesis
Diversity of Life – Metabolism
![Page 22: Diversity of Life. Kingdom Diversity of Life using ribosomal RNA sequence Carl Woese](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5e97a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Aerobic respiration, uses oxygen (O2), “burns” organic matter to get energy:
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes Decomposition of organic matter
C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + energy (sugar) (ATP)
Diversity of Life – Metabolism
![Page 23: Diversity of Life. Kingdom Diversity of Life using ribosomal RNA sequence Carl Woese](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5e97a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Diversity of Life – Metabolism
Anaerobic respiration, uses NO3-, SO4
-2, or CO2 instead of O2
Nitrogen fixation Makes nitrogen gas (N2) usable to
organisms as ammonia Anaerobic ammonium oxidation All of these 3 require anoxic conditions All of these 3 are in prokaryotes only
![Page 24: Diversity of Life. Kingdom Diversity of Life using ribosomal RNA sequence Carl Woese](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5e97a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Diversity of Life – Metabolism
Light-mediated ATP synthesis - prokaryotes only Photosynthesis
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes (only algae and plants) Need chlorophyll and other pigments Converts inorganic carbon to organic
Photoautotrophs
![Page 25: Diversity of Life. Kingdom Diversity of Life using ribosomal RNA sequence Carl Woese](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5e97a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CO2 + H2O + light → C6H12O6 + O2

Diversity of Life – Metabolism
Chemosynthesis: Energy from chemicals (H2S), not light Critical for life at hot and cold seeps Prokaryotes only Chemoautotrophs

Diversity of Life – Metabolism
Autotrophs must also use respiration to get ATP energy
