          Question 2a

          Marks: 1
          a)
          When farmers store animal feed, moisture levels need to be kept as low as possible to prevent the growth of fungi. Animal feed was exposed to 10 % moisture and placed into a respirometer. O2 consumption by fungi was monitored using a respirometer over a period of 12 days. The results are shown below.
