3. 25. The temperatures favorable for the growth of most bacteria are

A. relatively cool: below 60 F

B. about the same as for humans

C. higher than human body temperature

D. freezing temperatures (OC)

B.

about the same as for humans

Explanation:

This is why most bacteria, during research in labs, are incubated at 37 degrees centigrade, about the same as human body temperature. In addition, harmful and beneficial bacteria thrive in the human body due to the favorable temperatures for growth and reproduction. To try and fight an infection, the body also tries to raise the body temperatures above the optimal for the bacteria growth (the reason one has a fever in case of infection).
