Conduct an experiment to grow and identify the type of fungus
Answers
Heyy mate....
Explanation:
Fungi break down and absorb orgtanic material for their nourishment, so any experiment must first provide them with food. Oxygen and moisture are also necessary. A material for the growth of fungi for experiments is called a medium. Most commercially prepared media for growing fungi are extracts of plant materials like potatoes. A medium that is specially prepared to contain only the exact nutrients required by one species of fungus is called a "Minimal medium". The choice of growth medium depends on the question that is being asked.
If the question is "What kinds of fungi grow naturally on bread?" the choice of medium is simple. You could just put a slice of bread in a plastic bag, close it to retain moisture and await mold growth. However, observing only one slice of bread would not make an effective experiment. Your chosen slice may not have any mold spores on it, or contain spores of all the species present in the loaf. It might be too dry to allow growth. You would have to use a number of bags to account for all reasonably possible growth fullures and successes. The slices of bread would be replicates. Replicates allow the treatment to be repeated often enough to allow you to determine if they results are significant or the product of random chance. You will also need to decide how to record your results.
Answer:
Take a bread slice, keep it in a moist place where their is heat for a few days. Few days later when we observe the bread we see that their is a greenish - brown substance growing in the bread
Explanation:
That substance is fungus. It is formed in a moist and hot place
