Question

$E$. coli has optimal growth temperature of $37^{\circ} C$. Which of the following is an incorrect explanation for this?

• A. The membrane is most permeable at this temperature
• B. DNA synthesis makes the least mistakes at this temperature
• C. Most enzymes in the cell have the highest activity at this temperature
• D. Protein synthesis is most efficient at this temperature

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Most of the enzymes in the cell have the highest activity at a certain temperature called optimal growth temperature which is $37^{\circ} C$ in $E$.coli. All bacteria have their own optimum environmental surrounding and temperature in which they thrive the most
