can you read at the type of ovaries whether inferior or superior by seeing the fruit?
Answers
Explanation:
Ovary position is a useful feature in classification. An ovary attached above other floral parts is termed superior (see photograph); when it lies below the attachment of other floral parts, it is inferior (see photograph).Do apples have inferior or superior ovaries?
Do apples have inferior or superior ovaries?The ovary is inferior (below) the petals, calyx, and stamen. “Apple type” fruit, which develop from epigynous flowers, have remnants of the flower sepals, petals, stigma and stamen attached at the base of the fruit, on the opposite side from the receptacle.
Answer:
Tomatoes, squash, pumpkin, cucumber, peas, beans, corn, eggplant, green peppers… all of these are fruits! Although it makes wonderful “fruit” pies, rhubarb is not a fruit, but rather the petiole of a poisonous leaf.
Tomatoes are not “just” fruits in botanists’ eyes; they are also berries! So are eggplants, pomegranates, grapes, and avocadoes. Alas, blueberries and strawberries are not true berries; together with bananas, they are “false berries”. Grapefruits and their citrus relatives are, strangely, “modified berries”.
True nuts, such as walnuts and acorns, are fruits, as well. Peanuts are not true nuts, but rather legumes – a group of fruits that includes peas and beans. We eat only the seeds of true nuts and peanuts, however – not the fruit itself. Individual kernels of corn and wheat may appear to be seeds, but they, too, are fruits – and we eat them whole, both fruit and inseparable seed.
