Problem: - Bread absorbs water from the air - Bread absorbs warmth from the air - Dust particles with mold spores fall on bread - Mold spores start to consume the bread for energy - Mold colonies grow until they are visible. What might be the first step of the process?

A: Bread is exposed to the elements

Problem: - Winter comes and the animal finds a place to hibernate - Over a period of days, the animal's heart rate and breathing rate drop slowly - Electrical activity in the brain almost ceases completely, though some areas remain active - The animal has entered hibernation mode - What might be the first step of the process?

A: The animal eats large quantities of food that will be stored as fat

Problem: - Centrioles separate to move to opposite poles - Metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the center - Anaphase, the chromatids separate - Are pulled apart - Telophase, the chromosomes gather at opposite poles - Two new nuclear membranes form - The cell membranes pinch - Divide into two individual cells - What might be the first step of the process?

A: Prophase, the chromosomes become visible

Problem: - The spores fall to the ground - The spores germinate - The spores begin to grow mycelium - The mycelium begin to sprout a bud - A new mushroom is formed. What might be the first step of the process?

A:
Spores are dispersed into the air by a mature mushroom
