Question

Assertion : A bread mould grow profusely on a moist slice of bread rather than on a dry slice of bread.

Reason : A dry slice of bread has nutrients but it does not have water. A moist bread slice contains both

nutrients and water hence bread mould grows on it.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The assertion is correct but the reason given is wrong.

Explanation:

This is because, the bread already has water content unless it is stale, so it is not needed. If you observe, the mould can grow on both dry and moist bread but it will grow more faster on moist bread because mould thrives in damp conditions. Hope it helps :)
