Botany Ch 5 Test
Test on Fruits
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The almond fruit is considered a | drupe |
| A peanut is considered a | nut |
| this animal in South America scatters up to 60,000 seeds in one night | short-tailed fruit bat |
| the split opens along one side only to release seeds; ex. magnolia trees | follicle |
| the main difference between fruits and vegetables is | fruits contain seeds, vegetables don't |
| seed is coated with "bran" and inside is called "germ"; ex. corn and wheat | caryopsis |
| a row of seeds attached to side of fruit; ex. pea, peanut and bean plant | legumes |
| samaras that attach to one another making a two-winged fruit is called | schizocarps |
| entire fruit is fleshy except a thin skin; ex. grapes, avocado, and blueberries | berry |
| several seeds are collected in one hardened ovary, have "windows"; ex. poppy and primrose plants | capsules |
| George de Mestral invented this | velcro |
| strawberry seeds are located where on the fruit | outside of the fruit |
| list the "Fruits of the Spirit" | love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control |
| modified berry with a leathery skin; ex. oranges and lemons | hesperidium |
| single seed surrounded by a hard, woody covering; ex. acorns and chestnuts | nuts |
| fleshy fruit with a hard stone around the seed; the stone is known as the "pit"; ex. peaches and olives | drupe |
| this type of plant steals nutrients from other plants | parasitic |
| plants that produce this are the most important food-producing plants in the world | grain |
| name the 5 different ways seeds are dispered | human, water, wind, mechanical and animal dispersal |
| modified berry with hard and thick skin called a "rind"; ex. pumpkins and watermelons | pepo |
| fruit that develops a core with a fleshy tissue around it; ex. apples and pears | pome |
| single seed inside a shell, can have parachutes attached and can have hard shells; ex. dandelions, sunflowers and strawberry plant | achene |
| seeds inside a winged fruit that float in the breeze, one seed inside a single shell; ex. maple, ash, and elm trees | samaras |
| the strawberry is this family | achene |
| the main purpose of fruits | to help disperse seeds |
| process of getting seeds from parent plant to a new location | seed dispersal |
| another word for "grain" is | caryopsis |
| David used something to defeat Goliath. This is the same concept as what kind of dispersal | mechanical dispersal |
| process in which dead animals and plants refill the soil with nutrients for plants | deccomposition/decompose |
| special network of hooks and latches that are designed to stick onto fur | burrs |
| this type of dispersal is when flowers pollinate, create a fruit that floats in the water, then drops to bottom to take root | water dispersal |
| type of dispersal where seeds float in the wind and are small and light as dust | wind dispersal |
| type of dispersal where seeds are stored and buried | animal dispersal |
| type of dispersal where seeds are grown by farmers | human dispersal |
| type of dispersal where the fruit acts like a slingshot and flings the seeds away | mechanical dispersal |
| explain in your own words one type of seed dispersal | answer varies, but needs to be thorough! |
