if bread is exposed to air at room temperature, fungi inevitably colonize it. what does this say about the presence of fungal spores in our environment?

This supports the fact that fungal spores exists in the atmosphere or air

Explanation:

Fungi is a kingdom of living organisms that have distinguished characteristics from plants and animals. They propagate themselves using structures called SPORES. Some of these spores are able to withstand extreme or adverse unfavorable conditions and germinate when conditions are favorable. Most fungal spores are air-borne i.e are dispersed by air.

According to the information in this question, Fungal spores will colonize bread that is exposed to air at room temperature. This implies that fungal spores are present everywhere in the atmosphere looking for opportunities to germinate. The bread is a place conducive for fungal growth due to the presence of nutrients and a favorable temperature.

answer: land bridge theory. land bridge theory held that shifting portions of dry land explained the finding of identical species on different continents. plate tectonic theory eventually eliminated the land bridge theory.
