Question

Which of the following is true about the optimum growth temperature of most mesophiles?

a) They can grow well at 37^0C.

b) They are more likely to grow at refrigerator temperatures.

c) They can strive well in extremely high temperatures.

d) All of the above.

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following is true about the optimum growth temperature of most mes ofhis. Is it answer choice A? They can grow well at 37 °C. Answer choice B they are more likely to grow at refrigerator temperatures. Answer choice C they can strive well in extremely high temperatures or answer choice D all of the above. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices contains a statement that is true about the optimum growth temperature of most Mesophyll. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about Mesophyll to determine which of the following is true regarding their optimum growth temperature. And we can recall that Meshi are a type of micro organism that thrives in moderate temperature environments, which those moderate temperature environments are typically within the range of 20 °C to 45 °C as Meshi are often found in environments with temperatures similar to the human body, which is about 37 °C. So looking at our answer choices, we can identify answer choice A as the correct answer since they can grow well at 37 °C, which is the temperature that is similar to the human body. And all other answer choices are incorrect since they are not more likely to grow at refrigerator temperatures, which is typically around four °C and they do not strive well in extremely high temperatures. So answer choice A is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
