  • What kind of things does a microbe need for a living?

    Water, nutrients, energy, electron source, metabolic plan and enzymes
  • Why does the microbe need electrons?

    To perform different biochemical reactions
  • What does anabolism require to proceed?

    Input of energy
  • What is an allosteric regulator?

    A substance that binds to a site on an enzyme or receptor, resulting in a conformational change that either enhances or inhibits its function
  • What is the active site?

    The region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction

  • What does thermodynamics study?

    How heat and work are related, so transformation of energy
  • What is the ideal gas law?

    The equation of the state of a hypothetical ideal gas
  • What does the zeroth law imply?

     If A is in thermal equilibrium with B, and A is in thermal equilibrium with C, then B must be in thermal equilibrium with C
  • What does the first law of thermodynamics state?

    The internal energy of an isolated system is constant, so energy cannot be created or distroyed
  • What does it mean when w > 0 or w < 0

    w > 0 means work on the system and w < 0 means work by the system
