Would mold grow faster at room temperature outside or in the refrigerator?

Mold grows faster inside the fridge. The fridge is like an incubator for mold and fungal growth. This is due to the lack of oxygen and excess moisture in the fridge.

What materials would I use to answer will bananas brown faster on the counter or in the refrigerator?
A refrigerator, a counter, and two bananas (preferably from the same cluster).
What would happen if you put a blown up balloon outside in the sun What would happen if you put it in a refrigerator?
When in the sun the balloon gets slightly bigger, when in the refrigerator the balloon shrinks.
How much time does it take for water to freeze in your refrigerator?
It depends on the following factors 1. Surrounding temperature 2. keeping the doors open would make it faster 3. The temperature already attained in it. This depends on the knob position kept.
What happens to the room temperature if the door of the refrigerator is kept open?
Assuming the room is completely sealed, with no air flow in or out, the room temperature would go up. According to my college chemistry professor, refrigerators can only cool small cubic areas of air. However the motor that is running the refrigerator produces measurably more heat, and due to the door being open would run continuously to try to keep the refrigerator cool. The small amount of cool air coming out of the refrigerator would be no match for the heating effect of the motor, thereby raising the room temperature.
What happens to room temperature if the refrigerator door remains opened inside the room?
Assuming the room has no air flow in or out, the room temperature would go up. According to my college chemistry professor, refrigerators can only cool small cubic areas of air. However the motor that is running the refrigerator produces measurably more heat, and due to the door being open would run continuously to try to keep the refrigerator cool. The small amount of cool air coming out of the refrigerator would be no match for the heating effect of the motor, thereby raising the room temperature.A CaveatRefrigerators only "transfer" heat energy from the inside to the outside. As above, the mechanical inefficiency and waste heat would actually increase the room temperature. However, if the refrigerator had been operating for some time, and then was opened, the room would initially cool off as the cooler inside air (and contents) interacted with the room air. Once an equilibrium was reached, and the motor had to start, the room would heat up as explained. So the room initially cools, then warms up.
What if it was frozen when you put it in the refrigerator?
It would eventually cool to the ambient temperature of the refrigerator which is warmer than a freezer. Therefore it would reduce to being chilled rather than frozen, effectively defrosting, but slower than it would have done outside the refrigerator
Do ice cubes melt faster in or outside water?
The temperature of the water and the temperature of the air would have to be factors in the answer. EDIT: Assuming the air and water are the same temperature, it would melt much faster in water. The thermal conduction is much higher.
Where does water evaporate the fastest inside or out?
At higher temperatures, water will evaporate faster. So, depending on the temperature outside, it may evaporate faster, or slower, than inside.At higher temperatures, water will evaporate faster.

Do you turn off refrigerator on vacation?
If there is any food in the refrigerator, this would be a very bad idea - the food will have gone bad, since the temperature in the refrigerator would reach room temperature in a couple of days.If there is no food in the refrigerator, I suppose it would save money to turn it off.
How long it take walking cooler right temperature?
It would take longer to walk in hotter temperatures. The core body temperature rises while you exercise, and if the outside temperature is also warm, then you can overheat more quickly. If the outside temperature is cool, then you can walk at a faster pace more comfortably.
Does a black refrigerator take more power to cool because it absorbs heat?
Short answer, no. In an average kitchen, a black refrigerator would have to be in direct sunlight most of the day. Ambient room temperature would not heat it more than a white refrigerator. If the black refrigerator has excellent insulation, it may be more energy efficient than a different color, even when outside in direct sunlight.
Will a tomato rot faster in warm water or cold water?
The tomato would rot faster in warm water because, when you put a tomato in cold temperature ex: refrigerator the tomato does not rot and it stays good for a long period of time, now if you put the tomato in warm temperature or room temperature for instance, the tomato has more chance of rotting than in cold temperature so the tomato rots faster in warm water.
What materials would I use to answer will bananas brown faster on the counter or in the refrigerator?
A refrigerator, a counter, and two bananas (preferably from the same cluster).
Why coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is greater than 1?
The coefficient of performance (see Wikipedia article on "coefficient of performance") is a measure of merit for a refrigerator. To understand what it is telling us, we need to understand what a refrigerator does. Heat flows naturally from a hot region to a cold region. Even though your kitchen refrigerator is insulated to minimize the heat flow, without the machinery, the inside would gradually warm up to the temperature of the room. To keep the inside cold, the refrigerator must counter the natural flow by moving heat from the colder region inside the refrigerator to the outside. We have to put energy (usually electrical work) into the refrigerator to accomplish this. If the inside were warmer than the outside, it would take no work to remove heat from the inside. The warmer inside would pass heat to the colder outside naturally. If the inside is just a little colder than the outside, it would take just a little work to move heat from inside to outside. As the temperature difference you wish to maintain increases, so does the work needed. But when we deal with thermodynamics, we must use absolute temperatures. If the temperature of the room is 68 degrees Fahrenheit, that is 20 degrees Celcius, or 293 degrees Kelvin. (The Kelvin temperature scale starts at absolute zero) If the temperature inside the freezer compartment is -5 degrees Celcius, that would be 268 Kelvin. The difference of 25 degrees is less than a tenth the lower absolute temperature. So in essence, this is the case of a small temperature difference. The coefficient of performance is the ratio of the heat removed at the colder temperature to the work required to do it. Like many other figures of merit (the efficiency of an engine, the miles per gallon your car gets, ) the coefficient of performance measures the ratio of what you get (heat moved out of the box) to what you have to pay for (work from the electric company). But unlike the efficiency of an engine, the number can be greater than one. Because the temperature difference is small compared to the absolute temperature of the box, the energy expended to run the refrigerator is less than the energy moved from the inside to the outside.
Will a nail rust faster outside or inside at room temperature?
Most probably outside because of the difference in mean humidity levels. Higher humidity would tend to cause more rapid rusting.
Does ice melt faster inside the classroom or outside?
That would depend on the temperature inside and out. The ice will melt faster where the air is warmer. If the temperature is less than 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit, the ice will not melt.
What would happen if you put a blown up balloon outside in the sun What would happen if you put it in a refrigerator?
When in the sun the balloon gets slightly bigger, when in the refrigerator the balloon shrinks.
