A student studied the growth of mold on strawberries. One container of strawberries was vacuum-sealed to

remove the air and the other container was covered by plastic wrap. Both containers were placed in the
refrigerator. After two weeks, the vacuum-sealed strawberries contained less mold than the plastic-wrapped
strawberries. Which is the best conclusion based on these results?
