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 -
