Question

Which of the following is used for cell multiplication in a cell?

(a) Maintenance of metabolism

(b) Smashing with Adhesives

(c) Smashing with Fibers

(d) Smashing with Alkali and acids

I got this question during an interview.

This intriguing question comes from Microbial Transformations of Pesticides topic in portion Microbial Transformations of Pesticides of Environmental Biotechnology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Maintenance of metabolism

To explain: 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.
