Most cultured bacteria are mesophiles, which have optimum temperatures of growth. Usually 37* C (about 98* F, i.e. temperature of many warm-blooded organisms). Incubators provide that temperature environment, so that these bacteria can grow as quickly and healthily as possible. You go below or above that optimum, you will seriously slow growth. In addition, many incubators can provide atmospheres (such as extra carbon dioxide or less oxygen) that will encourage or allow cell growth. Basically, you're providing the right environment for cells to grow in.

How does incubator work what is the source of warmth in an incubator?

An incubator provides a controlled and warm environment for eggs to develop and hatch. The warmth in an incubator is usually produced by a heating element or a heat lamp. This consistent temperature helps mimic the conditions necessary for successful egg incubation, promoting healthy development of the embryos inside the eggs.

How long do chicks stay in a incubator?

They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.

Why do you need an incubator to hatch eggs?

An incubator provides a controlled environment with a stable temperature and humidity that mimics a bird's nest. This is crucial for the development of the embryo inside the egg, ensuring consistent conditions for successful hatching. The incubator also protects the eggs from external factors that could harm them during the incubation process.

In runescape how do you fix the incubator on Easter event 2009?

Fixing the Incubator Next you are asked to fix the incubator. But first you have to get the blueprints which is in Easter Bunny Jr`s room. Talk to the impling worker who is next to the incubator.You must find the parts of the incubator which are in different boxes. The boxes can be found all over the room, there are 3 groups of multiple boxes, and 2 single boxes. Look for boxes with the search option. Use the Cog, Piston, and Chimney on the main section (in that order). Use the sooty pipe on the Coal supply, the wet pipe on the Water tank, and the normal pipe on the Incubator controls. The Easter Bunny Jr will be next to the water tank on the incubator.
