Mold is a type of fungus that feeds off of decaying matter.
Mold is Biotic, as it has all 6 of the scientific Characteristics for a living things. Mold reproduces through spores, and needs energy through organic matter. It also has cellular repair, and can be either multi cellular or single celled.
Mold obtains energy through the process of breaking down organic matter by secreting enzymes to digest it. This allows mold to absorb the nutrients necessary for its growth and reproduction.
Mold obtains matter and energy from its environment through the process of decomposition. It breaks down organic materials such as dead plants or food to obtain nutrients for growth and reproduction. Mold releases enzymes to break down these materials into simpler compounds that it can absorb and utilize.
Mold requires organic matter to grow, such as wood or paper, as a food source. Stone and glass do not provide the nutrients that mold needs to thrive, which is why mold does not typically grow on these materials. Additionally, the smooth surface of glass and stone makes it difficult for mold to attach and grow.
Mold needs damp conditions to thrive and the inside of a bee hive should be dry and well ventilated.
Yes, mold does grow on organic matter. For example, mold will grow on feces, and feces is organic matter.
bread grows mold because if it is dry and worn out it needs the mold
Yes, mold can produce small amounts of carbon dioxide as part of its natural metabolic processes. Mold releases carbon dioxide as it breaks down organic matter for energy and growth.
Mold grows on cheddar cheese because mold needs moisture to grow.
all things living needs Energy and life :)

No, mold is not a consumer. Mold is a type of fungus that decomposes dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. It is considered a decomposer in the ecosystem.
