application of heat to living cells can result in all of the following except group of answer choices damage to nucleic acids. denaturation of enzymes. alteration of membrane permeability. breaking of hydrogen bonds. decreased thermal death time.



Answer :

Application of heat to living cells can result in all of the following except e) decreased thermal death time.

Thermal death time can be described as the time that it takes for a cell or microorganism to die when continuous heat is given to a cell. Hence, thermal death time will not be increased or decreased due to heat. The time taken for death will remain the same.

However, with the denaturation of the cell enzymes, damage to nucleic acid will occur due to the application of heat to living cells.

The membrane permeability will be affected by the application of heat and also hydrogen bonds will be broken with the application of heat.

The question will correctly be written as:

Application of heat to living cells can result in all of the following except group of answer choices

a) damage to nucleic acids.

b) denaturation of enzymes.

c)alteration of membrane permeability.

d) breaking of hydrogen bonds.

e) decreased thermal death time.
