with fuzzy colored stuff on it? That fuzzy stuff is mold. Mold is an organism but it is not a plant or an animal… So what is it? Mold is a fungus (in the fungi kingdom) that comes from tiny spores in the air. It cannot get energy from the sun like plants and animals do. For mold to grow‚ it needs to have water‚ oxygen‚ a food source‚ and temperatures that are 40-100 degrees Fahrenheit. High humidity gives off moisture for the mold to grow. Mold starts to grow when there is a dust layer on an object

Molds are fungi that are found everywhere – both indoors and outdoors all year round. The terms fungi and mold are often used interchangeably‚ but mold is actually a type of fungi. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has increased along with public awareness that exposure to mold can cause a variety of adverse health effects. There are many thousands of species of mold and most if not all of the mold found indoors comes from outdoor sources. It seems likely to grow and become a problem only when

Mold and Mildew Remediation Services in Paris‚ Texas ##web-contact-form## Mold is a type of fungus that’s found in nature. It’s a plant that grows on food‚ plants‚ wood‚ and on the walls and floors of your home. Mold’s main purpose is to break down dead animal and plant matter. When found in your home‚ however‚ it can cause musty and damp smells in your basement. If it’s left alone for too long‚ the spores can get into the ductwork and trigger allergies and other respiratory diseases. For a successful

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

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

They found that in D. disciodeum thrived equally on nutrient soil and a non-nutrient agar dishes (Bonner & Lamont‚ 2005). Similarly to the experiment preformed by Bonner and Lamont‚ we evaluated growth patterns

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

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

Sept.12‚ 2013 Experiment 1: SLIME (Starting Labs Is Mighty Exciting) Abstract In this experiment we investigate the properties of SLIME. Substitution of polyvinyl alcohol instead of Guar gum makes this experiment quite accessible. The Slime is prepared by mixing a solution of (Na2B4O7*10H2O) sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Borax) and H2O with a solution of polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and H2O. Then stirring for ~10 minutes to obtain the final product‚ SLIME. The product was examined and noted
