Answer 1

yo frnd here u go!!!!
hope it hlps...


The spores of bread mould need favourable conditions like moist surface to germinate. Moisture is an important, factor for the growth of hyphae of bread mould that contains spores.

Therefore, moistened bread slice offers both moisture and nutrients to the bread mould, hence it grows profusely. Dry slice of bread offer nutrients, but not moisture hence, hyphae fail to grow.

Answer 2

Because moist bread slice would provide the necessary nutrients, as well as, moisture that will help the mould to grow.

Explanation:

Bread mould grows best in moist conditions and the wet slice of bread would adequately provide that as compared to dry bread slice.

The dry bread slice would be able to offer nutrients but lacks the required moisture that is necessary for allowing the spores of bread mould hyphae to grow.

This is why the wet bread slice will have the most suitable conditions(air, moisture, and nutrients) for the growth of mould.
