Environment ’s effect on Growth of Bread Molds I. INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Molds are species of fungi. There are many different kinds of molds‚ some of which are specially adapted to grow in particular environments or on particular surfaces. Unlike plants‚ molds cannot produce their own food‚ so they need an external source of energy and nutrients. Molds (and mildew) are fungi. Fungi are neither plant nor animal but‚ since 1969‚ have their own kingdom. The fungi kingdom

Bread Mold Experiment By: Stephanie Westover PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment will be to determine how temperature affects the growth of mold on wheat bread. The researchers choose this topic because she thinks it will be beneficial to find a way to keep food from molding. Determining how long bread can be stored before molding can help save money‚ prevent illness and preserve freshness. The question the researcher will attempt to answer is how freezing

March 26‚ 2013 Methods and Materials (Bread Mold Lab) Block 1 The materials needed to conduct this experiment are six small squares of bread‚ a container of milk‚ four small Ziploc bags‚ a thermometer‚ a phone to record data and a heat lamp. The container of milk will be used for residue on the inside of two of the plastic bags. The heat lamp will be used to generate heat onto the bread towards the possibility of mold. The thermometer is used to measure the heat that the heat lamp is producing;

The biggest cause of mold growth in homes is excess moisture created by leaking water which has gone undetected or elevated humidity due to inadequate ventilation. The obvious places for mold to germinate are the areas of the property which are most likely to be damp‚ like the kitchen and bathroom‚ basements and crawl space/attic are also common places associated with mold problems (mold will grow in glass fibre insulation.) In many instances mold growing in your property is fairly harmless‚ whilst

find out how mold happens. Mold happens when bread is left out in moist areas. Mold grows because it seeks moisture warmth and food. Mold forms because in dust there are tiny micro-organisms and fungi along with it. The type of fungi found in air is called a spore‚ and it does the same thing as the dandelion seeds when you blow them in the air. A spore will float around until it lands on something and if that something is food‚ that spore will germinate and grow into a fungus. Mold happens in places

Measuring the Growth Rate of Mold in Different Exposures and Temperatures Albert Aguilar November 16‚ 2013 SMC 1312 Foundation of Reflection: Nature F Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether different exposures and temperatures affect the growth rate of mold in rice. We tested six different treatments of rice for a period of five weeks that were‚ refrigerated open‚ closed and open for observation‚ and unrefrigerated open‚ closed and open for observation. The results

Title: Bread Mold Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to test the effect of water on bread mold growth. Hypothesis: I hypothesized bread mold would grow faster if the bread was exposed to water. Materials: 1. Bread 2. Plastic cup 3. Water 4. Rubber band 5. Plastic wrap 6. Light 7. Scale 8. Seizers Procedures: Day 1 1. Cut two pieces of bread 1 by 1 2. Place the beard in two separate cups 3. Put 11 drops of water on one of the pieces of bread

What Type of Bread Molds the Fastest? Bread has been part of the human diet for thousands of years. Generally‚ breads were prepared and baked daily for consumption. Today’s bread contains preservatives to make it last longer in the home. This project is about discovering what type of bread molds the fastest out of white‚ wheat‚ rye‚ and homemade. To do this experiment a total of four types of bread were observed in the same environment. A photo of each slice of bread was taken every other day. A

BACKGROUND RESEARCH Mold is a type of fungus that grows on plant and food and is most often associated with damp‚ musty locations such as bathrooms‚ basements‚ and attics. Mold travels through the air as tiny spores which like to make their home in wet areas‚ where they will breed. If mold is spotted‚ it is best to take care of it right away so that it does not spread to other areas. It is also a good indication of a moisture problem. In addition to molds ugly appearance‚ it can also

Through processes know as wet mounts and simple stains‚ observing living microorganisms through a compound microscope can generate a clearer understanding of their appearances and movements. Microorganisms are living things that for the most part cannot be seen through the naked eye. They live on and among humans‚ as well as plants‚ animals‚ and all that is a part of the Earth. Harmless as most seem to be to humans‚ microorganisms are an important relevance of study for human interest in varied perplexities
