What three bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses need in order to grow and reproduce?
Many elements can be very helpful for bacteria to grow. Among them are oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, calcium, and sulfur. Certain conditions must also be present: dark, warmth, and moisture are the best for bacterial growth.
What conditions do bacteria reproduce in?
Bacteria form and reproduce in most cases in warm, moist sugar and organic matter rich environments. Bacteria growth is most effective in temperatures similar to body temperature and where oxygen is present. A neutral Ph is also effective for bacteria growth.
What factors can you control that would slow down reproduction of bacteria?
If you change the temperature around the bacteria, I believe that it can slow down their reproduction because when they are in the right temperature, they reproduce at their fastest rate. If they are not in the right temperature, they will not reproduce as fast. Even though you migt not need to know this..............BIEBER FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does agar need to fully solidify to grow bacteria?
Yes, agar needs to be fully solidified before bacterial growth can be observed. Semi-solid agar may not provide enough support for bacterial colonies to grow and be visible.
What elements do all living things have?
All living things have cells, the ability to reproduce, the need for energy, and the ability to grow and develop.
