Experiment Title: Does soil pH affect the color of tomato fruits?
A. Thesis statement: A high soil pH yields red tomatoes.
Set up: 9 pots each filled with soil of varying pH will be used in this experiment. The pots will be assigned into three groups: The control group will contain soil that has a neutral pH, the basic group will contain soil that has a pH greater than 7, and the acidic group will contain soil that has a pH lesser than 7.
The amount of water and sunlight received by the groups should be equal to eliminate other factors that could possibly affect the color variations. By keeping these factors the same, color variation would solely depend on the pH of the soil.
Control Group: It is necessary to keep the soil pH of the neutral group to be exactly 7. By making it neutral, we would be able to know what the natural color is exhibited by the tomato fruits.
The dependent variable in this experiment would be the color exhibited by the tomato fruits. The color exhibited is believed to be dependent on the pH of the soil. By having three samples each with varying pH, it is expected that there will be color variation.
Data Collection:
When the tomato plants bear fruits, determine the color of the fruits produced from each group. Create a table with two columns: the first column would be the group where the fruit belongs and the second column would be the color exhibited. Compare the data gathered from the three groups.
Data analysis:
A scenario which will support your hypothesis would be: the group which contained the basic soil produced red tomatoes. The neutral group produced orange tomato fruits while the acidic group produced yellow tomato fruits. It was found out that the higher the soil pH, the fruit color takes on a redder hue whereas if the pH keeps on going down, the fruit takes on a yellow a hue.
Observation is the answer

Answer:
<h3><em>Anthocyanin</em></h3>
Explanation:
These pigments give plants, flowers, and fruits, their brilliant colors ranging from pink through scarlet, purple, and blue. Anthocyanins are particularly found in fruits such as grapes, purple grapes, black berries, strawberries, and raspberries.
Answer:
A. a lamp being turned on
B. a toaster being used to toast bread
D. a car horn honking
Explanation:
Energy transformation is the conversion of one form of energy to another form in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. According to this question, Phil is observing a flashlight, which turns chemical energy (batteries) into light energy.
From the examples given in this question, the following are examples of scenarios that involve energy transformation:
- A lamp being turned on: This converts chemical energy to light energy.
- A toaster being used to toast bread: This converts electrical energy to heat energy.
- A car horn honking: This converts electrical energy to sound energy.
Note that, melting of a chocolate does not transform any form of energy.
Explanation:
Phytoanticipins are defined as defense compounds which are constitutively present, i.e., regardless of the presence of pests or diseases.
