Question

Tommy is investigating a strain of bacteria. He observes that the bacteria is only found in environments with a ph range from 6 to 8. His lab partner prepares a growth medium for this bacteria with a ph of 5. Which explanation best predicts what will happen to the bacteria grown in this growth medium?.

Answer 1

The bacteria will quickly die because the growth medium is too acidic for survival.

Explanation: it was only found in 6 to 8 pH range so it will not survive in pH of 5
