What makes a tomato rot faster the light or the dark?

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.


Why does fruit rot faster in the light than in dark?

Fruit typically rots faster in the light due to increased exposure to oxygen and higher temperatures, which accelerate the breakdown of enzymes and promote microbial growth. Darkness can help slow down this process by reducing light-induced reactions and lowering the temperature, extending the fruit's shelf life.


Where do the roots of a potato grow faster in the light or dark?
