Organotrophy is a term describing microorganisms that: A) use preformed organic compounds as a source of electron... s and obtain energy through fermentations or organic respiration B) obtain electrons and H+ via photolysis of H2O or H2S, producing O2 or S2, respectively C) perform photolysis of small organic molecules D) all of the above E) none of th e above Your answer is CORRECT. Which of the following statements is true regarding the electron donors in bacterial and archaeal metabolism? A) The use of organic compounds as electron donors is known as organotrophy. B) Lithotrophy refers to the use of inorganic molecules as electron sources. C) Photoheterotrophs support catabolism by using light energy to catabolize organic molecules. D) All of the above statements are true E) Only two of the above statements (A-C) are true. Your answer is CORRECT. Which of the following statements is true regarding the electron donors in bacterial and archaeal metabolism? A) The use of inorganic compounds as electron donors is known as organotrophy. B) Lithotrophy refers to the use of organic molecules as electron sources. C) Organotrophs perform photolysis of small organic molecules. D) Fe2+, H2S, or H2 would be electron donors for lithotrophs. E) None are true; all are false statements. Your answer is CORRECT. Which of the following statements is false regarding the electron donors in bacterialand archaeal metabolism? A) The use of organic compounds as electron donors is known as organotrophy. B) Glucose would be a suitable electron donor for lithotrophs. C) Photoheterotrophs support catabolism by using light energy to catabolize organic molecules.
