Does mold grow faster in the dark or in the light on bread?

Pick a dark, damp, warm spot to put bread.

i would think yes, if you are in 6th grade earth science... in there they study enviornment, organisms... etc. well, mold is an organism, and it could be tested how much bleach in enviornment would kill it... this relates to polution of enviornment, and effect of factors on organisms

Sometimes, raisins during their drying process, get infected by some molds or yeasts.  The mold does not normally cause any problem for the average raisin eater, but some people do seem to react to it.  The same occurs with peanuts, black tea and many other products.

1) The correct balance of nutrients.\n2) The correct enviromental conditions including water, pH, light etc. Note that darkness is not best for all fungi.\n3) Elimination of competition.

Well, since, as stated before, darkness is the absence of light, it travels at the exact speed of light in a given medium. For example, if you turn a light on in a darkened room, it gets bright very quickly (exactly how quickly will depend on the type of light bulb or the colour of the light you use), but when you turn it off, it gets dark at the same rate. Though darkness isn't something that really "travels", what you're measuring is how fast light dissipates, which is at the speed of light!

Take a piece of bread, add water onto it, place it in a plastic bag and seal the top, leave for a few days and mould will begin to quickly grow on it, easiest way there is.

i dont know the exact speed but its faster than the light. want proof darkness is always been there before the light. " at first there was darkness then ...'let there be light" - genesis

by what i have heard its found in dirt. it could be something due to hygiene. They found in the study that the people using the bauch and lombe (moisture lock)were acquiring the fungus so these were being removed from stores.

Think about it this way.  Have you ever looked at a piece of charcoal lit by sunlight in the middle of the night?  Of course this is impossible, but if you could do it you'd be surprised just how bright it would appear.  In daylight, the charcoal is surrounded by other objects which are better reflectors (higher albedos), making the charcoal appear dark by comparison.

The sugar is converted to energy by the yeast, the by product is Carbon Dioxide bubble which make the dough rise (expand).  Yeast will work slower if you don't add the sugar.

Put it in a dark room. If the mold had chlorophyll it would die without sun light. Molds do not and would consume the entire orange.

cut the mold off before you eat the cheese

Yeast is neither a bacteria OR a mold.  It is a fungus! Molds are a type of fungus too, and yeasts are closely related.  The green stuff and other fluffy stuff that grows on bread at times is not yeast.\n\nMold reproduces with spores, and the spores are essentially everywhere, they just need the right environment to grow in.  They need some dampness, but can grow in places that have relatively little liquid water, unlike most bacteria.  They seem to do well in and on media that are osmotically unfavorable for keeping water inside of a membrane, like cheeses, jellys and bread. Seems like when there is an abundance of water, other organisms tend to outgrow the mold, but go someplace hostile, like the surface of really sugary jam or jelly, so sugary that ordinary bacteria have all their water leach out of them if they try to grow in it, and mold pretty much rules. Wikipedia probably has more information.

Mold is another word for fungi whose bodies gather and congeal together to form cottony vegetative bodies. Not all mold is cottony, however. Types of slimy mold are more like amoeba than their cottony cousins and leave a moister, slicker mass on the molded surface. However when it comes to bread, you will most always see the drier, threadlike mold.\n\nMold commonly grows on bread faster in warm, dark, moist conditions. However, mold can grow in light, and some molds can even grow on frozen foods. Molds grow in varying conditions, at varying speeds, in every color you can think of.\n\nBlack bread mold is one of the most common molds.  It starts out microscopic.  However, as it takes in moisture, the mold begins to grow and produce.  Hyphae are produced, which grow upright as they absorb water, sugars and starches. \n black bread mold makes the bread go bad.  And it’s not only the bread that is damaged but the food around it as well.  This is because the mold grows and reproduces.  As it reproduces the mold spreads to nearby areas until it is killed. \n\n  \n\nNot only do they make food go bad, but mold also cause fungus-related illnesses.  For example, there are some types of mold that can grow on people!  These molds, or types of fungus, reproduce faster than others do.  However, they are not visible.  They may be spread through foods, transferring of items or in any other way

None, these are parasitic microbes and the colour of light falling on them has no effect. But if you beam un-filtered blue light which may have a substantial amount of UV lighht or UV light itself on microbes, they will die. Effect on growth will be the arresting of growth, as many genes are damaged. Efect on genes is the disruption of genes by UV light induced damage. And funnily, genes responsible for repair of UV induced damage will be switched on and will become most active genes in them during and for some time after UV light beaming.

with air yeast wil grow and thrive.\nwithout air it will produce ethanol and eventually die when the concentration of ethanol rises.

Well, it certainly isn't helping your condition.  The mold and chemicals are bad for your lungs; not moving around can cause a blood clot to form, and possibly cause a pulmonary emboli, or stroke.
