Yes, parasites can grow in food.
no. . . Because parasites and viruses can only grow on living matters... There may be saprophytes and bacteria growing in your food. . . Even parasites and viruses can be there but can not grow. .
True
No. A parasite is an organism that lives at the expense to and causes harm to another organism. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are media (singular medium).No. If the foods might allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow, they are called potentially hazardous.
Parasites.
Saprophyts are not parasites as they take food from dead or decaying orgnisams. Whereas parasites take food from living orgnisams
The six conditions in which pathogens need to grow are as follows: FAT TOM Food: to grow pathogens need an energy source. Carbohydrates, such as baked potatoes, and proteins, such as beef are some examples. Acidity: Pathogens grow best in food that contains little or no acid. An example of food with a lot of acid is lemons. Food items with little acid include chicken and cooked corn. Temperature: Pathogens grow well in food that as a temperature between 41 degrees Fahrenheit and 135 degrees Fahrenheit. This range is known as the temperature danger zone. Time: Pathogens need time to grow. When food is in the temperature danger zone, pathogens grow. After four hours, they will grow to levels high enough to make someone sick. Oxygen: Some pathogens need oxygen to grow. Others grow when oxygen isn't there. For example, some pathogens that grow without oxygen would grow quickly in cooked rice. Moisture: Pathogens need moisture in food to grow. For example, tomatoes and melons have a large amount of water in them, which means they can easily support the growth of pathogens.
They grow inside the tissues of other living organisms and obtain food at the expense host.These bacteria lack certain complex system of enzymes
Yes The way they grow makes them one
No, parasites are not typically at the top of the food chain. Parasites rely on living organisms for their nutrients and survival, which positions them lower down in the food chain. They often infect and feed off hosts, but do not occupy the highest trophic levels in an ecosystem.
