Detailed explanation-1: -Chopped apples: To “chop” means to cut into smaller chunks or pieces. Rough chops are roughly a half-inch to an inch in size. To chop apples, cut each apple half in half and repeat the process until you’ve reached your desired apple chunk size.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cutting an apple is an example of a physical change. A physical change is a change in the size, shape, or state of matter with no new matter being formed.
Detailed explanation-3: -This unappetizing phenomenon is actually due to a chain of biochemical reactions known as “enzymatic browning.” When an apple is injured (or cut into pieces), the plant tissue is exposed to oxygen. This triggers an enzyme known as polyphenol oxidase (PPO) to-wait for it-oxidize polyphenols in the apple’s flesh.
Detailed explanation-4: -Place a sharp knife about ¼-inch away from the stem in either direction, and make a cut all the way down, making sure to avoid the core. Turn the apple a quarter turn and make another cut about ¼-inch away from the stem. Repeat the process until you have four apple pieces.
