    Jar A Jar B Jar C Growth of Maggots Smell Color of Meat or Fruit Growth of Fungi

    Uploaded by

    This document describes a 3-day experiment observing the decomposition of meat in 3 jars (A, B, C). On day 1, there was no visible growth in any jars. On day 2, jar A showed a few maggots and light smells, while jars B and C remained unchanged. By day 3, jar A showed many maggots and strong smells, jar B showed some maggots and smells, and jar C remained unchanged. The conclusion is that decomposition occurs faster when the meat is more exposed to the open air, as seen in jar A.

    Conclusion:

    The growth of maggots is faster, the smell grows unbearable, color of the meat darkens and the
    growth of fungi appears as day pass. It is only a matter of hours for living organisms (Maggots and Fungi)
    and characteristics (Smell and odor) to evolve. The growth of organisms and characteristics depend on
    the exposure of meat to the open air or environment: Jar A, has the most organism and the strongest/
    fastest possession of characteristics; Jar B, has more maggots and stronger/ faster possession of
    characteristics; And Jar C has no organisms and has the weakest/ least possession of characteristics.

    Post- Laboratory Questions

    1) What is controlled experiment?

    - It is a scientific test that is directly manipulated, in order to test a single variable at a time.

    2) What is the manipulated variable in this experiment?

    - The meat is the manipulated variable in the experiment.

    3) Why do you observe the growth of fungi in all setups after several days of the experiment?

    - Fungi usually grow best in environments that are slightly acidic. They can grow on
    substances with very low moisture. Fungi live in the soil and on your body, in your house and
    on plants and animals, in freshwater and seawater. Fungi absorb nutrients from living or
    dead organic matter that they grow on. They absorb simple, easily dissolved nutrients, such
    as sugars, through their cell walls that is why it appeared on all of the three manipulated
    variable despite the variation in the container because the meat is damp.
