You grow a microbe in a brewers jar and compare it to a plate that was grown in an incubator. You observe that it grew in both environments, but observe that it grew more slowly in the brewers jar. What can you conclude about your microbe?

The microbe grows faster when placed in a warmer environment.

Explanation:

The microbe grows faster in a warmer environment because their enzymes function at an optimum temperature between the minimum temperature (if its too cold it will die) and the maximum temperature(if its too hot it will also die).
