Solution

Which of the following temperature ranges provides optimal growth for the majority of food borne microbes

c.60-80°F—answer

========================================

microbes developand grow within a particular temperature ranges.

They are arranged into three groups like,

a.Psychrophilic

b,Mesophilic

c.Mesophilic

basing upon the temperature at which the microbes grows best.

Psychrophilic : these microbes (responsible for food spoilage in fridges,and grow quickly at room temp.)

They require the Optimum temperature range of 68-77°F .
