Question

The conserved energy in the phosphanhydride bond of ATP is partially used for cell multiplication and ___________

(a) maintenance metabolism

(b) mashing with Adhesives

(c) mashing with Fibers

(d) mashing with Alkali and acids

This question was posed to me in an international level competition.

The question is from Aerobic Bacterial Degradation of Biopolymers topic in division Biodegradation of Organic Pollutants of Environmental Biotechnology

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) maintenance metabolism

Explanation: The conserved energy in the phosphanhydride bond of ATP is partially used for cell multiplication and maintenance metabolism during oxidative phosphorylation by proliferating bacteria, whereas, mashing with Adhesives, Fibers, Alkali and acids is usually not used for conserved energy usage.
