Andru [333]3 years ago

Bacteria in general grow optimally when the pH is around 7 (5-9 let's say). That is not to say that there are not bacteria that grow in extremely acidic conditions, like in our stomach, or others in extremely basic conditions, like the conditions near volcanoes. Nonetheless, bacteria that grow in food prefer acidic environments over basic ones and usually cannot tolerate the acidity of fruits which is around 4 pH for the most acid ones.

Identify early ideas about evolution?
Setler79 [48]

Explanation:

Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of paleontology with the concept of extinction further undermined static views of nature. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution.

In classical Latin, though, evolution had first denoted the unrolling of a scroll, and by the early 17th century, the English word evolution was often applied to 'the process of unrolling, opening out, or revealing'. It is this aspect of its application which may have been behind Darwin's reluctance to use the term.
