Select a method which cause the oxidation of constituent of a bacterial cell wall
Correct answer: A. Dry Heat
- A. Dry Heat
- B. Moist Heat
- C. Filtration
- D. Ultraviolet Radiation
Explanation
This is the correct answer. Dry heat is a method of sterilization that involves exposing microorganisms, including bacteria, to high temperatures in a dry environment. This process causes the oxidation of the constituents of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell death.Therefore, dry heat is the method that primarily causes the oxidation of the constituents of a bacterial cell wall.
