27
New cards

What is nitrification?

oxidation of ammonium ions to produce nitrites

28
New cards

What is denitrification?

nitrate is used as an electron acceptor by microbes in absence of oxygen to produce nitrite and later nitrogen gas

New cards

What is commensalism?

a relationship between two species where one is benefiting from the other without harming it

32
New cards

what is an example of commensalism

remora riding along side sharks for food

New cards

What is competitive inhibition?

inhibitor fills active site of an enzyme and compete with substrate

36
New cards

What is non-competitive inhibition?

inhibitor interacts with allosteric site rather than active site

37
New cards

What is feedback inhibition?

end-product of reaction allosterically inhibits enzymes from earlier in pathway
