CN: B9 NAME: Malatag Diezel O. SECTION:12 - Saint Bernadette Soubirous Documentation Jar A

The document describes observations from an experiment involving three jars (Jar A, B, C) with banana pieces. Jar A was uncovered, Jar B was partially covered, and Jar C was fully covered. Over seven days, the condition and presence of organisms on the banana pieces was recorded. Jar A showed the most decomposition and presence of organisms like maggots and fungi. Jar B showed less decomposition and some organisms. Jar C showed the least decomposition, with only fungi appearing in later days, likely because the jar was not fully sealed. The experiment tested how exposure to outside organisms affected decomposition in a controlled setting.

the color turned orange. Aside from the flies, white more orange. Aside from the flies and fungi, the
spots (fungi) were seen.. presence of ants were recorded.

DAY 5: The scent was unpleasant & the color turned DAY 6: The scent was very unpleasant & some part
darker. The fruit deformed & aside from flies, fungi turned black. Ants were not seen but the maggots &
and ants, a huge number of maggots were observed. fungi grew bigger and more noticeable.

DAY 7: The fruit had a strong unpleasant odor &


most of the fruit turned black. Maggots were
scattered and the presence of small flying creatures
were observed. There were still white spots (fungi).

DOCUMENTATION
JAR B

DAY 1: The fruit smells sweet and the color of its DAY 2: The fruit smells less sweet than Day 1 and
edges are light yellow. No organism was observed the color of its edges darkened. Still, no organism
was observed

DAY 3: The fruit had only a trace of sweetness & DAY 4: The scent was quite sour & the color was a
the color of its edges turned darker. Ants and white bit darker than day 3. Aside from ants & white spots,
spots (fungi) were observed. bubbles & liquids were seen.

DAY 5: The scent was sour & the color turned DAY 6: The scent became less sour & the color is
darker. The white spots became more noticeable and the same with Day 5. The fruit were almost entirely
the ants built black particles around the fruit. Unlike covered by white spots. The black particles were still
jar A, no maggots were seen there.

DAY 7: The fruit almost had no scent and it also


darkened. In addition, the fruit became flatter. White
spots are still present but the ants suddenly
disappeared.

DOCUMENTATION
JAR C
DAY 1: The fruit smells sweet and the color of its DAY 2: The fruit smells less sweet than Day 1 and
edges are light yellow. No organism was observed the color of its edges slightly darkened. Still, no
organisms was recorded

DAY 3: The fruit had only a trace of sweetness & DAY 4: Smells like wine & color turned dark
the color darkened. Hints of liquid appeared but still, yellow-orange. The volume of the liquid particle
no organisms were observed. increased. No organism was seen.

DAY 5: Smells like wine (but stronger than Day 4) & DAY 6: Smells like wine (but stronger than Day 5)
the color turned darker. The volume of the liquid & the color is still almost the same. The volume of

appeared.

DAY 7: The fruit had a strong wine-like odor and the


color turned dark yellow. The volume of the liquid
particles increased. White spots were still there. No
more organisms were observed.

Conclusion
Life forms occur more abundantly in areas that are more exposed to other living particles than
those that were not. Living things are products of a living thing. In jar C, white spots appeared because
the jar was not closed consistently throughout the week (I had to smell it).

Post Lab

1. A controlled experiment is composed of an independent, controlled, and dependent variable. The


independent variable is the component being manipulated which affects/ determines the dependent
variable. Meanwhile the controlled variable are the things, other than the aforementioned variables,
which are present in the experiment which are kept the same to increase the accuracy of the
experiment. The experiment that I performed is an example of a controlled experiment

2. The manipulated (independent) variables in the experiment is the jar in which the banana was placed.
The first jar was not covered, the second was partially covered, while the third jar was completely
covered.

3. Fungi appeared in all set-ups appeared maybe because of the preparation process. I cut the bananas
in open air and I did not boil or sterilize neither the bananas nor the jars so that must be the reason why
fungi still appeared even in my Jar C which was covered almost throughout the week.
