Question
Chapter 36, Problem 12TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The relation between the practice of separating fruits and vegetables according to their use, by the grocery store, with the biological definition of fruits.
Introduction:
It is observed that in grocery stores, fruits and vegetables are usually separated based on the use of these plant foods. Fruits and vegetables can be differentiated from each other on the basis of their biological definitions. These definitions can be used to relate the separation of fruits and vegetables, which is seen in grocery stores.

- Answer the following question: What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable? In what ways does human welfare depend on seed plants?arrow_forwardYou want to examine the internal anatomy of seeds from Taxus and Ricinus. The plant material you obtain only consists of mature seeds - this can be challenging as mature seeds are often quite hard making it difficult to cut a longitudinal slice through the seeds from each genus. In addition to your drawings, you described (with great accuracy) what you saw as follows: A. The coyledons of the Ricinus embryo were just about visible, though often hard to distinguish, surrounded by the nutritive endosperm tissue. The seeds of Taxus were too mature to slice open but they were surrounded by the fleshy, red tissue that contains the poisonous substance taxol. B. The coyledons of the Ricinus embryo were just about visible, though often hard to distinguish, surrounded by the nutritive endosperm tissue. The seeds of Taxus were too mature to slice open but they were surrounded by the fleshy, red tissue that birds eat. C. The coyledons of the Ricinus embryo were just about…arrow_forwardIdentify and indicate each plant's specialized function. The following are the available choices. Choices can be repeated and answers can be two or more. Just write the letter with the correct answers. A. Reproduction (plantlets or buds may grow along with blades and petioles' notches, bases, apices, and tips.) B. Aeration (Increase petiole size to increase buoyancy) C. Support (As in the banana plant, the presence of tendrils, hooks, and supporting leaf bases.) D. Protection (Bud scales, motile leaves, spines, stipules, and bracts are all present.) E. Water storage (This is particularly important in desert plants with succulent leaves that store water in their large, thin-walled parenchyma cells. Certain plants, such as onions and lilies, store food in their leaves.) F. Attraction (Some plants have petaloid flower bracts or brightly variegated leaves.) G. Absorption (Insectivorous leaves, particularly unscrutinized leaves on some aquatic plants.) 1. Cadena de amor: 2. Rose: 3.…arrow_forward

Lettuce seed assays are used to compare the ecotoxicity of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol by these alcohols' effects on germination rate and root elongination. Using the attached data, help answer which alcohol seems to be the most toxic to lettuce seeds. Why or why not would your results be expected? What does this information tell you about using ecotoxicity data to estimate human toxicity?arrow_forwardIn ordinary English, we use the word fruit to mean something sweet and juicy; however, the following things are fruits: peanut shells, pea pods, bell peppers,and chili peppers. What is the characteristic that lets us know these really are fruits even though they are not sweet? In contrast, bananas are fruits that do not have this characteristic (they are sterile and new plants must be grown from buds that sprout near the base of the plant).arrow_forward

Lok at each of the "vegetables" below and indicate what part of the plant is being eaten: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, or seed. Be cautious, for many plants, more than one part is edible! For example, kidney beans have edible seeds and also the entire pods (i.e., fruits): asparagus broccoli carrot cauliflower celery corn green pepper kidney beans lettuce orange radishes spinacharrow_forwardi) list TWO adaptations that show that the plant conserves water.ii) Photosynthetic cells produce starch and may be stored.
