The graph below illustrates the growth curves for two types of bacteria, A and B, as the pH of their surrounding mediums change.
pH of 0-7 = acidic pH pf 7-14 = alkaline/basic pH 7 = neutral
What is true of Bacteria A?
a
Bacteria A grows best in a medium that is slightly basic.
b
Bacteria A grows best in a medium that is very basic.
c
Bacteria A grows best in a medium that is slightly acidic.
d
Bacteria A grows best in a medium that is neutral.
Based on the information given and the graph, the correct answer is:
c) Bacteria A grows best in a medium that is slightly acidic.
