Grapefruit can interact with captopril (Capoten), a medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Grapefruit juice may inhibit the enzyme CYP3A4, which is involved in the metabolism of various drugs, potentially leading to increased levels of captopril in the bloodstream and heightened side effects. It's advisable for patients taking captopril to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit products unless directed otherwise by their healthcare provider.

A fruit clock uses fruits like potatoes or lemons to generate electricity through a chemical reaction called electrolysis. When the juice or moisture in the fruit interacts with electrodes made of different metals, it creates a small electric current that can power a simple clock. The number of fruits and the type of fruit used can affect the amount of electricity produced and therefore the clock's accuracy.
Orangutans are solitary animals, meaning that they live alone and rarely interacts with other animals. However, despite being fruit eating animals, they will sometimes eat insects such as ants and termites.
Icing sugar and fruit sugar (often referring to fruit-derived sugars like fructose or fruit juice concentrates) are not direct substitutes due to their different compositions and uses. Icing sugar is a finely powdered form of sucrose, ideal for frosting and baking, while fruit sugar can affect flavor and moisture content. If you're looking for a sweetener to use in a recipe, consider the intended flavor and texture, as well as how each sugar interacts with other ingredients.
