Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it will be helpful to you

Aim of experiment - In the Mold Bread Experiment we are trying to prove that;

"Mold grows quicker at higher temperatures."(Hypothesis)

Material required-

Materials Needed

• Water
• Slice of bread
• Plastic zipper bag
• Marker
• Masking tape
• Pen
• Notebook
• Camera (optional)

Procedure -

• Sprinkle water on the slice of bread.
• Put the bread in the plastic bag and zip it.
• Use the tape to secure it further.
• Write today’s date on the tape with the marker.
• Leave the bag undisturbed for 7 days in a warm place outside the house.
• Track the growth of the mold by checking the sample every day. Collect data in the notebook on the size and color of the colony. You can also take a photograph of the bread each day.

• In the end, throw away the bag with the moldy bread without consumption or inhalation near.

Observation - The conservative graph is in attachment.

Conclusion - Mold is a fungus that best grows in dark, moist and warm conditions. It feeds on organic matter like bread while decomposing the same. Hence it is harmful to consume the moldy bread or even inhale the smell as mold spores could enter the body in that way. Adding salt inhibits the development whereas sugar enhances the method. Types of bread with high moisture content like rye, oat, Boston and other dark breads mold faster than the drier and denser varieties.
