Malathion is a pesticide that kills flies within 30 minutes — a clear example of how harmful chemicals in the environment damage living things. This project tests whether activated carbon can neutralize that harmful substance. You spray malathion on overripe bananas and place them in aquarium tanks with flies. Some bananas also get a coating of activated carbon solution at different concentrations. You then count how many flies survive over one hour to see whether higher doses of activated carbon protect them from the pesticide's deadly effects.

Malathion kills flies within 30 minutes on its own, but activated carbon may change that outcome. You spray malathion on overripe bananas placed in aquarium tanks with flies, then coat some bananas with activated carbon solution at different concentrations. The tiny holes in the activated carbon can trap the pesticide before it harms the flies. By counting survivors over one hour, the results show whether higher doses of activated carbon protect more flies from malathion.

Malathion is a pesticide that kills flies within 30 minutes on its own. The question here is whether activated carbon can neutralize it. You spray malathion on overripe bananas placed in aquarium tanks, then coat some bananas with activated carbon solution at different concentrations. Ten flies go into each aquarium, and you count how many survive every 10 minutes over one hour. As the concentration of activated carbon increases, the results show whether higher doses protect more flies from the pesticide.

Malathion kills flies within 30 minutes on its own, demonstrating a clear toxic effect at a lethal dose. The experiment then tests whether activated carbon — applied at different concentrations — can neutralize the pesticide and allow more flies to survive. Higher concentrations of the carbon treatment reveal whether increasing the neutralizing agent changes how much of the poison reaches its target.

Malathion kills flies within 30 minutes on its own, but activated carbon may change that outcome. When molecules stick to the outer surface of a solid rather than soaking in, they become unavailable to cause harm. This experiment tests whether coating poisoned bananas with activated carbon solution can protect flies from malathion by trapping the pesticide on the carbon surface. You spray malathion on overripe bananas, add activated carbon solution at different concentrations to some of them, then count surviving flies over one hour. The results show whether higher doses of activated carbon protect more flies from the pesticide.
