Take a tomato and cut it into slices. Put the slices of tomatoes on a tray and place it on the window where the sunlight comes through. What changes did you observe in the fruit?

The tomato slices lost moisture, became smaller and shrank in size. Their texture turned harder and drier because sunlight removed water, making it harder for microbes to grow.

    1. After placing tomato slices in sunlight, they gradually lost moisture, became smaller and shrank. Their texture changed from soft and juicy to harder and drier. This happens because sunlight removes water from the fruit. Without moisture, microbes cannot grow, which helps preserve the tomatoes for a longer time without spoilage.
