AT WHAT TEMPERATURE DOES BACTERIA GROW ON FOOD
Bacteria can grow on food when it is at a temperature between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C). This range is often referred to as the “danger zone” for food because it allows bacteria to multiply rapidly, increasing the risk of…
THE TEMPERATURE OF OCEAN WATER
Like land masses, ocean water varies in temperature from place to place both at the surface and at great depths. Since water warms up and cools down much more slowly than the land, the annual range of temperature in any…
ENVIRONMENTAL PHYSIOLOGY
Environmental physiology refers to the effects of the environment on the growth and performance of farm animals. Normal growth and performance are enhanced when climatic factors like temperature, rainfall, wind, relative humidity, sunlight, etc are moderate. Excess or lack of…
