๐Ÿ”— Concept: 2.4 How Are We Connected to Microbes?

Show answer Hide answer
The slice near the sink grows mould; the fridge slice stays fresh.

Explanation

  • The slice near the sink is in a warm, moist place.
  • Microbes grow well there, so it gets mouldy.
  • The fridge is cold, which slows microbe growth.
  • So the fridge slice stays fresh longer.
Warmth and moisture grow mould; cold keeps the fridge slice fresh.
