Which of the following pairs is mismatched?

A) hyperthermophiles growth at 85°C

B) psychrotroph growth at 0°C

C) thermophile growth at 37°C

D) mesophile growth at 25°C

E) psychrophile growth at 15°C

C) thermophile growth at 37°C

Explanation:

A thermophile is an extremophile organism because it grows in an extreme environmental conditions in comparison to an environmental conditions comfortable to humans. Thermophiles develop successfuly between 41 and 122 °C. Thermophiles can be classified in many ways, one of them, based on the optimal growth temperatures is as follows

Simply thermophiles: 50-64 °C

Extreme thermophiles 65-79 °C

Hyperthermophiles 80 °C and beyond, but not < 50 °C.

According to this information the statement in c is mismatched because the minimum temperature thermophiles need to grow is 50°C, so they are not able to grow at 37°C.
