Question

Form a hypothesis: You observe mold growing in one side of a slice of bread, but not on the other side. Form a hypothesis to explain this difference in mold growth

Answer 1

Answer:

Read explanation.

Mold:

Molds are a type of fungus with a multicellular growth (opposite of yeasts) and tend to grow in hot and warm but also humid environment.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an idea of what is causing a problem or the what the origins of the problems are.

In this case, a possible hypothesis is that the "molded" side of the bread is having a different exposure to the external environment, such as hot/warm but humid/wet-ish conditions.

Answer 2

Answer:

A scientific hypothesis is an educated guess or statement based on the pre-knowledge which could be proved or disproved through experiments in the scientific method.

In the given conditions, the scientific hypothesis based on the observations will be "In certain conditions, the molds grow more on one side of the slice of bread than on the other side" which explains the pattern of growth of molds in the experiment which could be tested and proved on the basis of experiments.
