Question

It is seen that microbes tend to grow at a slower rate in a food kept in a refrigerator when compared to the food kept out in the air. Justify the statement ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Most infection-causing bacteria prefer body temperatures to grow and are slowed down significantly in the refrigerator because the enzyme systems that operate to allow them to grow slow down. However, some bacteria are perfectly happy at refrigeration temperatures—they grow, but not rapidly. Only freezing will absolutely stop bacterial growth, as long as the food remains frozen.
