Answer:

C. bacteria will grow rapidly in the hot temperatures is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally,an increase in temperature will increase enzyme activity. But if temperatures get too high, enzyme activity will diminish and the protein (the enzyme) will denature. ... Every bacterial species has specific growth temperature requirements which is largely determined by the temperature requirements of its enzymes

Answer:

The false statement in regards to bacteria is

A. Bacteria will grow slowly in hot temperatures

Step-by-step explanation:

Some bacteria types can survive to extreme hot temperatures due to their thermophilic nature and some kills at high temperature above the danger zone. The optimum temperature for most of bacteria is 37 °C. Cold temperatures can only slow down the growth of bacteria while high temperatures can kill the bacteria.

At high temperatures some bacteria survive and grow rapidly and some are destroyed by extreme conditions.
