Apply the terms photoautotrophs, chemoautotrophs, photoheterotrophs, chemoheterotrophs, saprobes and parasites.
Understand role of macro and micronutrients, vitamins as coenzymes and cofactors for optimal enzyme function………. Continue

Understand metabolism, anabolism, and catabolism in terms of nutrient utilization, energy production and macromolecule building.
Understand the role of enzyme as biological catalysts in lowering activation energy, factors of enzyme function- temperature, concentration of enzyme and substrates. ………. Continue

WEEK 4

Principle Methods of controlling growth- Compare and contrast disinfection, sterilization, sanitization and antisepsis in terms of number of microbes destroyed by each and where they are used.
Understand the terms -cidal (e.g. bacteriocidal) and -static (e.g. bacteriostatic) in relation to different microbes
