It will die when the air around becomes warm.


Thanks

I think is false. Because mould need moist and warm to growth.

[quote]Temperature
Mold grows well in temperatures similar to those maintained in most homes. However, mold proves quite versatile as well, growing even on refrigerated food products and in tropical environments.[/quote] [quote]Temperature
Optimal mold growth occurs in warm temperatures, since enzymes, or the proteins that control chemical processes, work more efficiently when it is warm rather than when it is cold. The ideal temperature for molds to grow and survive in is approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Shepherd.

According to Dr. Kristy Long, a food sciences and home economics specialist from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, refrigerating breads will slow mold growth, and freezing breads will stop mold from growing all together.[/quote]

Can anyone help suggesting an answer? I suspect the answer in the assessment book is either wrong or the question is poorly formulated.

Thanks.

Based on the pics alone, you can't tell the texture, so C is definitely out. the rest are correct.

Totally agree. Unless the question states the species of the leaves, then perhaps the textures can be known
