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! |
