Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the possibility of using some type of product that prevents cut apples from becoming darker.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The problem with this activity is "What can you put on an apple slice to keep it from turning brown?" The problem in a scientific experiment is the element that provides a question about what is being observed.
2. Hypotheses are assumptions made about what was observed, in addition, hypotheses can answer the question shown in the problem. In the case of apples, the hypotheses can be: "Lemon juice is the most efficient product in delaying the blackening of cut apples." "Water is inefficient in preventing blackened cut apples." "Milk accelerates the blackness of cut apples."
3. The dependent viable is one that needs to be influenced by another element to bring about a result. In the case of the experiment with apples, the dependent variable is the blackening rate of the apple slices.
4. The independent variable, on the other hand, refers to the element that does not need any influence to cause a result, on the contrary, this variable acts on the dependent variable, influencing it. In the case of this experiment, the independent variable is the types of liquid tested to delay the blackening of cut apples.
5. Lemon was the most efficient liquid. Probably this efficiency is related to the lemon's ability to decrease the strength of antioxidants, due to its very low pH.
