No because now part of the apple is missing so the mass would be less.
The total mass of the apple is not changed, but part of the mass is now
in the biter's mouth.

How do you find the mass of an apple?
Mass of an AppleWhat a tricky question! You can easily measure the WEIGHT of an apple... or the downward force the MASS of the apple excerts in it's gravitational field on earth. Weight is a very good approximation of MASS... but to determine EXACT mass is something you'd not be able to do in the "backyard."Weight and mass are considered equivilent on the earth's surface. That is something that weighs 1 kilogram on earth has one kilogram of mass. It will only weigh 160 grams on the moon but will still have 1 kilogram of mass. To estimate the mass of an apple without a scale is to see how much water it displaces.
What unit do you use to measure the mass of an apple?
grams
What unit of measurement would you use to get the mass of an apple?
A gram.
1.An apple has a mass of 297 grams. How many kilograms is this?
0.297 Kg
Does mass remain constant?
Yes, Mass remains constant because the definition of mass does not mean weight. Mass means the amount of room and object takes.
Does an apple have more mass then a paper towel?
Yes an apple takes up more space than a paper towel so there for an apple has a larger mass.
What is a person who takes mass called?
A Catholic.
What would be the mass of a person on the moon?
The mass does not change, the weight does. Mass is how much space something takes up and mass cannot be created nor destroyed
Are rotten apples matter?
Yes. 'Matter' is anything that takes up space and has mass. A rotten apple has mass and takes up space, therefore it is matter. If you meant something different with your question, you should revise your use of English grammar.
Why does an apple fall to Earth?
The apple has mass. The Earth has mass. The apple falls down, and the Earth "falls" up. The Earth's motion is not measurable. The apple's motion is.
The mass of an apple in pounds?
"Pound" is a unit of force. It's not a unit of mass. The mass of an apple depends on the individual apple. If it weighs, say, 8 ounces on Earth, then its mass is 0.5 poundmass, or 0.015625 slug.
Anything that has a mass is what?
What has mass is everything that takes up space.
Has mass takes up space?
Yes. Mass takes up space. Example you. You have mass and you utilize space.
Why does an Apple fall toward the earth instead of the earth moving towards the Apple?
Because the mass f the Earth is way greater then the apple's mass. Though apple attracts earth it is so negligible that it is equal to 0
What takes mass?
Nothing 'takes' mass. When adding more water to a bucket of water, the water gains more mass, but the question isn't specific enough to specify what exactly 'takes' mass.
Would an apple have mass of about 250 kilograms or 250 grams?
The apple would most likely have a mass of 250 grams
When you drop the apple identifies all the forces actions on it as it falls and the corresponding reaction forces?
the apple and the earth accelerate toward each other. force on apple (and earth) f = ((G * earth mass * apple mass) / distance ^2 ) . earth mass = 5.974 * 10^24 kg apple mass = 0.5 kg distance (between centre of gravities) = 6 371 000 metres . f = 4.909938 newtons . acceleration of apple = f / mass apple = 9.8199 (m/s)/s acceleration of earth = f / mass earth = 8.219 * 10^-25 (m/s)/s
