Mold can grow better in the light because when fruits get into the dark they can spoil faster and get soft/ugly
Mold grows faster in dark places because light inhibits its growth. Placing apples in a dark environment can promote faster mold growth compared to placing them in a well-lit area.
light area
The temperature is more of a factor than light.
In the dark because in sunlight the moisture from the brbead would dy out
If light from the day comes in contact with mold, then mold will grow faster. (There are more variables that could affect the growth such as the sun because we know that without sun, plants and every other living organism couldn't survive, which also coincides with temperature.)
in dark, warm, moist places
Yes
Yes, mold does grow better in the dark. Since mold does not produce it,s own food using photosynthesis as other plant do, it does not need as much sun-light. Hope this helps to answer this question! P.S. I only know this because I'm doing a science fair project on the topic of bread mold!
Moulds are funghi. Funghi are not plants but are an type of organism in their own right. Unlike plants they do not photosynthesise, but respire, like us humans do. This means they get their energy from the organic matter that surrounds them (they release enzymes and then absorb sugar etc- kind of like eating) THEREFORE, the rate of growth has nothing to do with light levels.
why does bread grow in the dark
Mold prefers dark and damp environments, so when bread is in the sun, it dries out faster and doesn't provide the moisture that mold needs to grow well. Sunlight can also inhibit the growth of mold spores because ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a sterilizing effect.
Tomatoes rot faster when exposed to light because light promotes the growth of mold and bacteria on the surface of the tomato, accelerating the decay process. In contrast, storing tomatoes in a dark environment can help slow down the rotting process by reducing the chances of mold and bacteria growth.
