water basically conducts electricity in fruits. Lemons have acids in them so that can be why too -Brennon Kok otherwise known as BobtomII on aces high II, visit www.flyaceshigh.com to see info about the game, its pretty awesome

Citrus fruits like lemons, Oranges, etc conduct electricity. They do so when a zinc needle and a copper needle are inserted in them. These two needles act as the polarities and can even light a small torch bulb when connected. Zinc and copper together react with citric acid in these fruits much similar to the reaction in a battery and produce electricity.

And the electricity is guessed by the pH, or acid!

There are several things needed to make a typical battery:

1) An anode (+) and cathode (-) plate.

2) An electrolyte that chemically affects the cathode and conducts positive current to the anode.

So fruit affects one of the wires, nail, or whatever you put into it. The fruit juice is the electrolyte.

There is nothing very special about fruit that does anything. You can make a battery by putting the metals into your mouth.

Try it.
As for what makes the fruit able to do this, I know that the acid in the fruit acts like the acid in an alkaline battery. All it needs is an anode and a cathode, and it produces electricity.

The electric eel, which is a type of fish and not a fruit, can generate strong electric currents. It is known to produce electric shocks to stun prey and deter predators.

What causes fruit to conduct electricity are the acids in the fruits. They act as electrolytes, which is similar to the acid in batteries.
