Which of the following statements is not true about bioremediation and biodegradation? Microbes played a critical role in metabolizing the crude oil in the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil-degrading microbes have enzymes that use molecules in the oil as substrates. Phosphorus and nitrogen stimulate the growth of oil-degrading microbes. Odding easily metabolized organic matter such as glucose increases biodegradation. The biodegradation of plastics is fast because of their chemical structure and properties.

Metabolic pathways

Metabolism is defined as the group of life-supporting, enzyme-mediated chemical reactions in organisms. A metabolic pathway is a set of these chemical reactions that involve anabolism (synthesis of complex biomolecules) and catabolism (breakdown of biomolecules into small molecules) that occur inside a cell. Metabolites are the reacting substances, products, and intermediate substances of an enzymatic process that are altered by a series of chemical events catalyzed by enzymes.
