Milk, cheese and yoghurt, sentence 8

Milk goes sour when bacteria eat the milk sugar and make acid, which makes the proteins clump; cold slows the bacteria, so milk keeps longer in the fridge.

Who acts: Milk, bacteria, acid, cold · What happens: go, eat, make, slow, keep · To what, where: milk sugar, acid, proteins clump, bacteria, fridge
