d. denatures essential proteins

e. destroys ribosomes

Fill in the missing word for the active ingredient in most Lysol products. Dimethyl ______ chloride.

Answer 1

Q(A) the correct option is A

moist with high temperature result in denature of proteins .the enzymes are made up of proteins so the correct option will be A

Q(B) correct option is A

compounds like dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride bind to the proteins and phospholipid of cell membranes of the microbes in irreversible manner,and cause disruption or dissociation of cellular membrane lipid bilayers of bacteria, Consequently, resulting in compromise cellular permeability control and the leakage of important cellular contents.

Q(C). the full name of the compound is Dimethylbenzylammonium chloride
