Answer 1

Answer:

Write the procedure to grow Rhizopus in the lab. Write the observation and precations, material requirer

Materials required:

5 slices of bread

5 transparent sealable bags

Gloves

mask

Sticky labels

Magnifying glass

Now, we take the remaining two samples. Before we seal them in the bags we add either lemon juice/water/apple juice/salt/sugar. We keep these two samples in a place where they don't get disturbed.

The observations can be their physical appearance like colour, shape, amount of growth per day, texture, etc. We can also BY
