All of the following are true about microbes and temperature EXCEPT
A) microbes have mechanisms to control their temperature.
B) temperature affects the average rate of molecular motion.
C) changes in temperature affect membrane fluidity.
D) changes in temperature affect transport.
E) every organism has an optimum temperature for growth.

Accepted Answer

Microbes do not have mechanisms to control their temperature. They are dependent on their environment for temperature regulation, either through adaptations or changes in their physiology.
