Procedure :
1) A piece of bread is sprinkled with water and placed in a clear plastic bag
labeled A.
2) The other piece is kept dry and placed in the clear plastic bag labeled B.
3) Both plastic bags are kept in a dark place for two days.
4) The result of the experiment is observed and recorded in the table below.
Results :
Discussions :
1. After two days the mucor grows on the moist bread because of the presence
of water, but no mucor grows on the dry bread.
3. Hypothesis is accepted.
Conclusion : Microorganisms grow rapidly in moist condition.
Hypothesis : bacteria grows and reproduce quickly at room temperature but not at
low or high
temperature.
Material s and apparatus : sterile nutrient agar, bacteria culture ( bacillus subtilis),
sterile petri
Procedure: :
1. Three sterile petri dishes containing sterile nutrient agar are prepared and
labeled A, B and c respectively.
2. 1cm3 of bacteria culture solution is added onto the agar surface in each petri
dish by using a syringe.
3. The petri dishes are covered with their lids and sealed using cellophane tape.
Results :
5 None
30 Many
80 None
Discussions :
2. Temperatures that are too cold or too hot are not suitable for bacterial
growth.
3. Hypothesis is accepted.
Materials and apparatus : Sterile nutrient broth, bacteria culture ( Bacillus subtilus),
distilled water, hydrochloric acid 1mol/dm3, sodium hydroxide solution 1mol/dm3,
cotton wool, test tubes.
Procedure :
6. The three test tubes are kept in the dark cupboard for 2 days.
Discussions :
1. After two days, nutrient broth in test tubes A and B becomes only slightly
cloudy because microorganisms do not grow well in acidic and alkaline
conditions.
3. Hypothesis is accepted.
