Browning apples, rotting and mould, sentence 3

Food goes off in two main ways: its own chemistry changes, like a banana ripening and browning, and tiny living things move in: bacteria and fluffy mould growing from spores in the air.

Who acts: Food, banana, tiny living things, bacteria · What happens: go off, ripen, brown, live, move, grow · To what, where: two main ways, own chemistry changes, bacteria

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
