question 80

Multiple Choice

• A) in cold temperatures, the energy of activation is not sufficient to drive chemical reactions regardless of the
• presence of enzymes, whereas excessive heat denatures enzymes and/or incinerates the cell causing irreparable damage.
• B) cold temperatures denature enzymes causing irreparable damage to the cell, whereas heat limits the energy of activation available to drive chemical reactions.
• C) cold temperatures freeze and therefore kill the cell, whereas excess heat keeps the cell metabolically active but not dividing.
• D) cold temperatures halt binary fission and is therefore considered a sterilant, whereas heat does not kill spores so . it is not an effective method of control
