A scientist is studying a population of bacteria. He notices that when a culture of bacteria is placed near a heat
source, the population flourishes (grows well) and then eventually dies as the temperature continues to rise. He
decides to investigate this phenomenon. What hypothesis might the scientist develop?
Your answer:
A)If exposed to cold, then bacteria will die.
B)If exposed to a continuously rising source, then bacteria will flourish then die after a certain point
C)Populations of bacteria can be quite large.
