When microorganisms are frozen, their metabolic processes slow down significantly due to the low temperature. This can lead to a decrease in their activity and reproduction rates. However, some microorganisms have evolved mechanisms to survive freezing by producing protective compounds or entering a dormant state until conditions become more favorable for growth.

Why the pipes broke during the freezing cold weather?

Pipes can burst in freezing temperatures because water inside them expands as it freezes, creating pressure that can cause the pipes to crack or burst. This is more likely to happen in uninsulated or exposed pipes. Insulating pipes and keeping a steady drip of water running during cold weather can help prevent them from freezing and bursting.


What is the stage in which microorganisms grow and reproduce?

The stage in which microorganisms grow and reproduce is called the log or exponential phase. During this stage, microorganisms rapidly multiply and increase in number.
