Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

 In our experiment, in the indirect using the tester of getting the resistance of all the different fruits, I
observed that when a fruit is dry it has more resistance than in wet fruits. When in direct experiment using
the tongue, the apple and tingled and pinch on my tongue.
Therefore, I concluded that moisture fruit has lower resistance but higher in current while dry fruit
theres a high resistance but lower in current. The experiment using the direct or tongue, the orange and
apple tingled and pinch on my tongue. Unlike the dry fruits, the banana, avocado and santol there is no
tingle in my tongue. I also observed that the fruits with high resistance have no effect at all and the current
of it is lower. I also conclude that the higher the resistance the lower the current.

Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

I therefore conclude that having higher resistance will contrast the counter part of it which is high
resistance.
I also conclude that when you ate a food with sour taste then you test the direct experiment using
your tongue there is no effect at all but other said that when you test it, it tingled your tongue so I must say
that I am dry having high resistance than the fruits we tested.

Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

The dry object has higher resistance ( ) but lower in current (A) while wet object has lower
resistance ( ) but higher in current (A). In our experiment, the apple and orange has higher resistance
than the other fruit like the santol (ripe and unripe), banana, avocado and mango. Not all dry has higher
resistance than wet or citrus fruits because on my own observation there are factors that affect the
resistance of the fruit. The factors are the size of the fruit (small or big), the quality of the fruit if it is ripe or
unripe and acidic fruit or not acidic fruits.

My Own Observation using indirect experiment or using the tester

Like the orange (120 ), on our result of the experiment the said fruit has more resistance ( )
because the orange is known as acidic fruit, it tastes sour. I observed also when it come to size the fruits
resistance may vary, on our experiment I observed that smaller santol has lower resistance (24 ) than the
bigger santol (60 ). The quality of the fruit (ripe and unripe) also affects the resistance of the fruit because
I observed also in the santol fruit that the ripe has lower resistance (24 ) than the unripe santol (100 ).
The ripe which is wet has lower resistance than the unripe which is dry.

My Own Observation using direct experiment or using the tongue

 I also observed that when in direct experiment, when you put the wire and paper clip towards your
tongue, I can feel that it tingle or I feel that there are many sharp points pressing into my tongue. And
when it comes to the orange fruit using the direct experiment, I observed that the smell and the taste of
the orange fruit is been tasted by my tongue. But when suddenly I ate foods with vinegar, it affects my
observation because after I ate and test again the direct experiment I cannot feel any other effect towards
into my tongue. It only means that I ate acidic so it affects the resistance.

Conclusion
The dry fruit has higher resistance ( ) than the wet fruit but there are factors that affect the fruits
resistance: the size of the fruit, the quality of the fruit (ripe or unripe) and when it is acidic or not acidic
fruit. I concluded that the smaller the fruit it has lower resistance than the bigger fruit. I also concluded that
when the fruit is ripe (wet or moister) it has lower resistance than the unripe (dry). And when the fruit is
acidic it has more resistance than in the not acidic fruit.

I also concluded that the higher the resistance ( ) the lower the current (A) it will be while the lower
the resistance ( ) the higher the current it will be (A). When the person also dry or ate acid foods it affects
the resistance because it can gain more resistance than the fruit.

My Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

Based on our experiment, Therefore I conclude that if the flavour of the fruit is sour, the two wire
connect it to my mouth it have a jolt to my tongue. And if the fruit is sweet there is no reaction.

I therefore conclude that when it terms of resistance, when the object is dry the higher the
resistance is and the lower the current because on my own observation when the wire and paper clip was
on the tip of my tongue, I feel like there is something tingled.

Generalization

The dry object has higher resistance ( ) but lower in current (A) while wet object has lower
resistance ( ) but higher in current (A). The group experiment, the apple and orange has higher
resistance than the other fruit like the santol (ripe and unripe), banana, avocado and mango. Not all dry
has higher resistance than wet or citrus fruits because in this observation there are factors that affect the
resistance of the fruit. The factors are the size of the fruit (small or big), the quality of the fruit if it is ripe or
unripe and acidic fruit or not acidic fruits.

Like the orange (120 ), in the result of the experiment the fruit has more resistance ( ) because
the orange is known as acidic fruit, it tastes sour. In this observation also when it come to size the fruits
resistance may vary, on this experiment I observed that smaller santol has lower resistance (24 ) than the
bigger santol (60 ). The quality of the fruit (ripe and unripe) also affects the resistance of the fruit because
in this observation also in the santol fruit that the ripe has lower resistance (24 ) than the unripe santol
(100 ). The ripe which is wet has lower resistance than the unripe which is dry.

In this observation when in direct experiment, when you put the wire and paper clip towards your
tongue, You can feel that it tingle or that there are many sharp points pressing into your tongue. And
when it comes to the orange fruit using the direct experiment, the smell and the taste of the orange fruit is
been tasted by your tongue. But when suddenly you ate foods with vinegar, it affects your observation
because after that and test again the direct experiment you cannot feel any other effect towards into your
tongue. It only means that you ate acidic so it affects the resistance.

The dry fruit has higher resistance ( ) than the wet fruit but there are factors that affect the fruits
resistance: the size of the fruit, the quality of the fruit (ripe or unripe) and when it is acidic or not. The
conclusion is when that the smaller the fruit it has lower resistance than the bigger fruit. In this situation
when the fruit is ripe (wet or moister) it has lower resistance than the unripe (dry). And when the fruit is
acidic it has more resistance than in the not acidic fruit.

In this conclusion the higher the resistance ( ) the lower the current (A) it will be while the lower the
resistance ( ) the higher the current it will be (A). When the person also dry or ate acid foods it affects the
resistance because it can gain more resistance than the fruit

My Own Result, Observation and Conclusion

Based on our experiment, I therefore conclude that if a person is dry it has higher resistance and at
the same time lower current where in you can tell it through the direct experiment using the tongue. If he/
she cant feel something between his/her tongue then the person must be dry. And you can say that the
person is wet or has lower resistance if he/ she feel something between his/ her tongue.

When the fruit also dry the possibility of it will have higher resistance with lower
current while the wet fruit has lower resistance but higher amount of current.
