Why do Granny Smith apples quickly break down to apple sauce consistency when cooked for pie?
yes they do
Can an apple seed produce a different species of apple?
Yes.
The variety of fruit must be propogated by vegative means i.e. grafting, budding or cuttings.
A seedling is a wild card that may produce any kind of aple , good or bad.
A totally different species of apple will not likely happen.
There are many kinds of apples that can be mixed. The bee fly from one tree to another tree and does not make sure it only moves between same kind of trees. If the flower is "fertilized" with pollen from a different kind of apple, then the seeds from the apple growing from this flower will be the seeds of a mixed variety.
It works the same way in animals, a good example is rabbits, cats and dogs. Granny Smith apple trees can most likely be mixed with Golden Delicious apple trees and the resulting seed will make a "new" kind of apple trees. The same way a Chow Chow dog can be mixed with Dalmatian to create a... Dalmatian with a blue toung (or whatever the genes say will happen. Maybe the toung will be spotted blue or the fur would be Chow Chow and spotted like dalmation.)
Apples will still be apples and dogs will still be dogs though.

How does a pear get in a bottle?
Possibility 1) They hang a bottle in a pear tree with the fruit bud inside the bottle. It grows in there - not common anymore. Possibility 2) The Glass Bottle consists of a threaded bottom part. The pear is put into the bottle, then the bottom is "screwed" onto the rest of the bottle which will eventually seal the two parts together as well.
Can an apple help you not to fall asleep?
Apples do not have any "chemicals" such as tryptophan (present in turkey) that makes you sleepy or caffeine (in coffee) that blocks your ability to stay calm, but it does have fructose which is a type of simple sugar found in fruits and honey. Because it's delivered slowly with the process of eating and contains fiber from the skin and meat of the apple, the sugar doesn't give you a jolt like coffee or candy often can. There are no adverse effects such as the "let down" or addiction that some people experience from coffee or energy drinks.
The process of eating the apple, its crunchy texture and sweet juicy taste probably can wake some people up in the morning as well as provide some nutrition. Part of waking up is the process and some people find comfort and dependency in their morning cup of coffee-the ritual of measuring the water and grounds, listening to the brew being created, the aroma and finally, the adding of their favorite condiments into their brown-stained favorite cup. The coffee culture such as standing in line at a corner coffee shop can be a very important process of waking up.
Not to tout the virtues of coffee but perhaps our culture considers eating an apple to wake up as too simplistic, lonesome and not as glamorous at the steering wheel on our way to work. The corporate suit looks more stylish with that green logo cup than with a half eaten oxidizing apple. A lipstick stain looks more expected on a rim of a cup rather than smeared on an apple core. But if you want to be healthy or if you're trying to find an alternative to caffeine, perhaps an apple could be your ideal choice.
Another opinionThis is supposed to be a "false fact" started on the Michigan Department of Agriculture website that has since been debunked everywhere. The idea was that chewing, smelling and enjoying an apple, and having the natural sugars slowly release into your bloodstream was an equally effective and healthier way to wake up than shocking your body with caffeine, which can make little holes in your nervous system over time.Caffeine is undoubtedly an effective stimulant. That's why the US Army gives soldiers caffeinated gum to chew. It does wake you up and is not especially harmful in moderation. Consider a healthier alternative to coffee, though, such as green tea, which has some health benefits that offset the caffeine.
Speaking from personal experience, I do find that putting "real" applesauce (no added sugar or corn syrup) on my morning toast and washing it down with green tea makes a lovely, quick and healthy breakfast that does wake me up and gives me energy until lunch. The applesauce might only energize because of the natural apple sugar (fructose) or by a property not yet discovered by science. Try it and see.
Are red apples better for you than green ones?
Some apples are red when they are ripe and some are green when they are ripe. Neither type is "better for you" than the other.
Those apples that are red when ripe are often green when they are not ripe. Eating those kinds of green apples (unripe apples) is not good for you. That is the only sense in which red apples are "better for you" than green apples.
The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, species Malus domestica in the rose family (Rosaceae). It is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits, and the most widely known of the many members of genus Malusthat are used by humans.
The tree originated in Western Asia, where its wild ancestor, the Alma, is still found today. There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples, resulting in a range of desired characteristics. Cultivars vary in their yield and the ultimate size of the tree, even when grown on the same rootstock.[2]
At least 55 million tonnes of apples were grown worldwide in 2005, with a value of about $10 billion. China produced about 35% of this total.[3] The United States is the second-leading producer, with more than 7.5% of world production. Iran is third, followed by Turkey, Russia, Italy and India.
