Question

Plot relative turbidity (ormeric nalues) versss temperatare on the graph paper provided. See pages 10-11 for 2 Why do different temperatures produce different growth rates? Why is it not advisable to connect the data points for each organism in your grapb? 5 Consider the shape of each curve. Where is the optimm temperature relative to the range for each organism? 6 In what wayls) could you adjust the incubation temperature to grow an organism at growth rate? 110 MICROBIOLOGY: Laboratory Theory&Application,Brief

Answer 1

The temperature is one of the major physical parameter, which differ for each species according to their growth requirements. The temperature at which the organism shows maximum growth, is called optimum temperature. for example, some bacteria can thrive at extreme temperature, like thermos aquatics that grows at 70 degree C and some psychrophilic, which can grow at -15 degree C. However, most of the bacteria can grow at 37 degree C. If the temperature inside bacteria cannot function well and thus it will affect the growth of bacteria \r\n It is not advisable to connect data points for each organism because each organism has different temperature at which they grow when you connect the dots it is harder to see the different organism instead it \r\n look as if you are comparing one type to its temperature not many different ones. It is also not advisable to connect because gap are so large that you need more data point to
