What causes food to spoil mold cooking viruses protozoa?
Food spoilage can be caused by mold, bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms that break down the food and produce toxins. Cooking can kill most microorganisms, but improper storage or handling can introduce new ones. Some viruses and protozoa can also contaminate food and cause spoilage or foodborne illnesses.
Are bacteria and viruses responsible for most cases of food intolerance?
No, bacteria and viruses are not responsible for most cases of food intolerance. Food intolerance primarily arises from the body's inability to properly digest certain foods, often due to enzyme deficiencies or sensitivities, rather than infections caused by bacteria or viruses. Common examples include lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity. In contrast, bacteria and viruses are more commonly associated with foodborne illnesses and infections.
Do germs come from eggs?
Germs themselves do not come from eggs. Germs are microscopic pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can cause infections or diseases. Eggs are a food source rather than a source of germs.
Similarities between bacteria and virus?
Both bacteria and viruses are microscopic organisms that can cause infections in humans. They can both be transmitted through various means such as droplets, contaminated food or water, and direct contact. However, they differ in structure, with bacteria being single-celled organisms while viruses are inert genetic material that require a host cell to replicate.
Are all viruses dangerous?
Not all but some do. If a person has a contagious virus then stay away from them. Some travel only buying eating raw meat or poisoned food or dirty water. Another science question d by the wizzo!
Do viruses cause food poisoning?
They do on occasion, but food poising is usually the result of bacteria.
If a person eats unhealthy food can they get a cold waht cause a person get a cold?
Eating unhealthy food will not cause you to get a cold. Viruses cause people to get a cold.
Give to examples of organisms wich might cause food poisoning or food borne illness?
Bacteria and viruses are two organisms which might cause food poisoning or food borne illness.
What causes bacterial food poisoning?
"Chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, fungi, viruses and bacteria can cause food borne illness."
What pathogens cause food poisoning?
Bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of food poisoning. Parasites, mold, toxins, contaminants and allergens are also causes of food poisoning.
Can viruses multiply in food?
My professor do mentioned about exceptions of the viruses that can multipled in food, I have not figure out yet
What causes food to spoil mold cooking viruses protozoa?

Cooking can kill most microorganisms, but improper storage or handling can introduce new ones. Some viruses and protozoa can also contaminate food and cause spoilage or foodborne illnesses.
Do viruses multiply in foods?
viruses cannot spoil food because they need a host cell(living) to multiply. Food does not provide it a proper ambience or favourable conditions to survive/multiply.(in the atmosphere viruses are said to be dead).
Can viruses cause foodborne illness?
No, a virus needs a living organism to survive. It actually binds to the cells in the body, and changes them into virus cells. That's why you can't take antibiotics to treat a virus, because the virus is inside of your cells. You can't very well just kill all of your own cells.
Does the raw food cleanse really work?
I have tried this myself, and I can say from personal experience that in a way it does work. However, this food can be extremely unhealthy for you. Eating raw meat can cause viruses such as salmonella, or tapeworm.
What organism commonly causes food poisoning?
The most common bacterial microorganism to cause food poisoning is by far Escherichia coli - E. coli. Other common bacterial pathogens that cause food poisoning are Salmonella, Campylobacter and Listeria. Common viruses that cause food poisoning are Noroviruses, Rotaviruses and Enteroviruses. In some classifications, Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E viruses are considered to be causes of food poisoning, although they have much longer incubation periods and affect organs outside stomach and intestines. To be complete, it is worth going slightly outside the scope of the question and mention another common cause of food poisoning: toxins (although, they are not organisms - they are biologically active organic and inorganic compounds).
Do viruses break down food?
yes they do
