Surface-to-volume ratios, growth rates, and evolution
Advantages to being small (Figure 1.7)
Small cells have more surface area relative to cell volume than
large cells (i.e., higher S/V)
Support greater nutrient exchange per unit cell volume
Tend to grow faster than larger cells

Composition of membranes
General structure is phospholipid bilayer (Figure 2.14)
Contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components
Can exist in many different chemical forms as a result of
variation in the groups attached to the glycerol backbone
Fatty acids point inward to form hydrophobic environment;
hydrophilic portions remain exposed to external environment

acid,
2) archaea have short carbon chains called isoprenes instead of

3) archea can have monolayers instead of bilayers
4) archaea often have more unsaturated lipids Membrane Structure

3.1 Defining the requirements of life
Energy from oxidationreduction ( redox ) reactions is
used in synthesis of energy-rich compounds (e.g., ATP)
Redox reactions occur in pairs (two half reactions ;

Electron donor : the substance oxidized in a redox
reaction
Electron acceptor : the substance reduced in a redox

Free Energy
Energy is defined in units of kilojoules (kJ), a measure
of heat energy
In any chemical reaction, some energy is lost
as heat
Free energy (G) : energy released that is available to do
work
The change in free energy during a reaction is referred
to as G0Figure 3.2 Electron Donors and Electron Acceptors
Redox couples are arranged from strongest electron
donor to strongest acceptor at the bottom (Figure 3.4)
Redox reactions usually involve reactions between
intermediates ( electron carriers )
These are divided into two classes

Photorhabdus luminescens lives inside the digestive tract of soil nematodes and also produces a
toxin to kill insects. There is much interest in the metabolism and nutrient requirements of this
species to study it as a natural insecticide. This organism lives mostly in the absence of oxygen,
and uses the endogenous organic molecule fumarate as a final electron acceptor. However, it can
also live in the presence of oxygen and it as a final electron acceptor. Organic molecules obtained
from the nematode are used as a source of energy, electrons and carbon.
