An individual spherical bacterium is a coccus, and when you have a chain of them, it is referred to as streptococcus.

What high energy molecule are formed by the electron transport chain?

They are transported by electrons that pass from a carrier to a hydrogen. These are transported by active transport within a cell.


All cells convert the potential energy found in food molecules into ATP through?

This process is called cellular respiration. It occurs in three steps, glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain, in that order. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, while the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain both take place inside the mitochondria of the cell. This is why the mitochondria is referred to as "the powerhouse of the cell."


What is the name of the process that heterotropsh gets energy from?

Heterotrophs get energy by eating plants. The process is called food chain.


How do cells acquire food energy?

Cells aquire food energy through a process called cellular respiration. This can be aerobic (with Oxygen as the final electron acceptor) or anaerobic (with some other organic molecule like pyruvate as the final electron acceptor). Aerobic respiration can be further broken down into the steps of 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Krebs Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain It can also take place as photosynthesis but that is a slightly different mechanism Anaerobic Respiration can take place where there is no oxygen available(such as insidee muscles). This is called fermentation(yes the same kind we have to thank for alcohol...God bless anaerobic bacteria).

The name streptococcus tells you that the bacteria are arranged as what?

The name "streptococcus" tells you that the bacteria are arranged in a chain-like structure, with individual cells attached to one another. "Strepto" means twisted or coiled, and "coccus" refers to spherical cells.

Do gram negative rods chain?

Yes, some Gram-negative rods can form chains. For example, bacteria belonging to the genera Escherichia, Proteus, and Klebsiella can form chain-like structures. These chains are made up of individual rod-shaped bacterial cells that are arranged end to end.


What is the chain called that drives a chain block?

It's called the drive chain.


By which mechanism does azide kill bacteria?

Azide kills bacteria by inhibiting the activity of cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme involved in the electron transport chain of bacterial cells. This inhibition disrupts the production of ATP, which is essential for bacterial survival and growth.


What is a pocket watch chain called?

A watch chain is called an "Albert" chain and is often called a "fob" as well. There is some confusion as to its name - A fob specifically refers to a medallion or ornament attached by the chain. Typically, the chain is just called a chain or an Albert chain, after Price Albert.
