Mold needs a very dark, damp, or wet climate to grow.
Nooo, but you do need some germs to live.
Moisture and warmth are ideal conditions for promoting mold growth on bread.
what does mold eat or live on?
Mold will live as long as it's resources allow it to. Mold will thrive in dark, warm, and moist environments.
Mold growth is a result of biological processes rather than a chemical reaction. Mold spores require moisture, nutrients, and suitable environmental conditions to grow and thrive. When these conditions are met, mold spores will germinate and produce hyphae, leading to visible mold growth.
The control variable in a mold experiment would typically be the conditions in which no mold is allowed to grow. This could involve using a sterile environment or a substance known to inhibit mold growth as a control to compare against experimental conditions.
Yes, wood can grow mold under certain conditions, such as high humidity, lack of ventilation, and exposure to moisture. Mold spores can land on the surface of wood and begin to grow if the conditions are right. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent mold growth on wood surfaces.
No. However, if mold has been growing then just drying the area and/or allowing sunlight to hit it does not kill the mold spores. The spores are dormant reproductive agents of the mold which allow it to regrow when conditions are right. The next time it is moist the mold will regrow. Mold is endemic (everywhere) in the atmosphere.
Yes, mold can grow in insulation if the conditions are right, such as high humidity or moisture.
outside
oxygen and heat and moisture
warm moist conditions 80 degrees is favorable
