Module 4 EN Welcome to your Module 4 EN What is metabolomics? Metabolomics is a new branch of chemistry and medicine that focuses on studying toxins in organisms. Metabolomics is a new branch of biology, medicine, and environmental sciences that focuses on studying proteins in cells, tissues, and biological systems, as well as the fluids within organisms. Metabolomics is a new branch of biology, medicine, and environmental sciences focused on studying metabolites in cells, tissues, and biological systems, including organisms. Metabolomics is a new branch of chemistry and environmental sciences that focuses on studying glycoproteins in organisms. None Microbial metabolomics is used in industrial biotechnology to optimize fermentation processes, improve the production of biofuels and other bioproducts, and to create microorganisms for specific industrial applications. TRUE FALSE None What techniques and methods are used for environmental metabolomic studies? Environmental metabolomic studies use electron ionization mass spectrometry, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI); electrospray ionization (ESI), capillary electrophoresis, Raman spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mathematics, computer science, etc. For environmental metabolomic studies, various analytical technologies are used to obtain data and identify the characteristics of metabolites present in different organisms, tissues and fluids. These include electron ionization mass spectrometry, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI); electrospray ionization (ESI), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis, gas chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), etc. For environmental metabolomic studies, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry, one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D-PAGE) are used. Environmental metabolomics studies are conducted using fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and fluorescence spectroscopy. None Metabolites are small molecules, such as amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, and other end or intermediate products of metabolism, that play a key role in cellular processes. FALSE TRUE None Which science studies the metabolome of microbial communities? Microbial metabolomics identifies and quantifies all metabolites in a given cell or community of microorganisms at a given point in time. The microbial metabolome in complex ecological communities is the subject of genomic studies. Subject of study. Glycomics is the microbial metabolome of complex ecological communities. Proteomics is the study of the metabolome of microbial communities through the analysis of proteomic maps. None Ecology is a science, a part of biology, that studies the interactions between organisms and the environment in which they live. The main subject of ecological study is ecosystems, interconnected networks of plants, animals, and other organisms in a given geographical area that depend on each other. FALSE TRUE None Microbial communities are crucial for the maintenance of life and are closely related to the chemical and physical properties of the living environment. FALSE TRUE None Metabolic engineering is a dynamic field in biology that focuses on changes in metabolic pathways in living organisms to create new or improved products or processes. FALSE TRUE None What types of stressors affect environmental metabolomics? Plants are stressors that affect environmental metabolomics. Natural disasters are stressors that affect environmental metabolomics. Toxins are stressors that affect environmental metabolomics. Environmental metabolomics studies provide information on how organisms respond to various stressors, such as: water, air, and soil pollution; climate change, and natural disasters. None Metabolomic analysis does not identify specific changes that occur in the metabolic profile of bacteria after exposure to heavy metal.
