attract pollinators with their colors
absorb sunlight
fall off and become food for bugs

The seeds inside the apple will sprout, but only grow shoots
The seeds inside the apple will sprout when the weather becomes warmer
The spores inside the apple will sprout when the weather becomes warmer

Josue performed an experiment to find out how well mold grows on different kinds of bread. he left out a piece of white bread, rye bread, and pumpernickel on a lab table in his science room. Each day he observed mold growing on the different samples. Josue recorded his data by writing down his observations.

His data showed that after two weeks, there was no mold on any sample. Which of the following should Kelvin do first?
research mold on the internet
assume he was a better scientist and write a paper on his findings
repeat his experiment as many times as needed to get the same results
