    Food-borne illnes caused by bacteria usually lasts for:

    • 20 minutes

    • 2 days

    • 14 days

    • 28 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 days
    Explanation
    Food-borne illnesses caused by bacteria typically last for a duration of 2 days. This is because bacteria can multiply rapidly in food, leading to the production of toxins that can cause illness when consumed. The symptoms of food poisoning, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, usually appear within a few hours to a few days after consuming contaminated food. In most cases, these symptoms resolve within a couple of days as the body's immune system fights off the bacteria and eliminates the toxins. However, the duration of illness can vary depending on the specific bacteria involved and the individual's immune response.

    A. Some are harmful
    Explanation
    Some bacteria can be harmful to humans and cause diseases. However, not all bacteria are harmful. There are many beneficial bacteria that play important roles in various ecological processes and even in our own bodies. Therefore, the statement "Some are harmful" is true as it acknowledges that while there are harmful bacteria, there are also non-harmful or even beneficial bacteria.

    • Food, dirt, warmth and time

    Correct Answer
    A. Food moisture, warmth and time
    Explanation
    Bacteria need food, moisture, warmth, and time in order to multiply. Food provides the necessary nutrients for bacteria to grow and reproduce. Moisture is important for the metabolic processes of bacteria. Warmth helps to facilitate the enzymatic reactions required for bacterial growth. Time allows for the bacteria to undergo cell division and multiply. Therefore, all these factors are essential for bacterial multiplication.
