- What is the function of a fruit?
- How could you distinguish between a fruit and a vegetable at the grocery store?
- In the diagram below, an apple blossom is developing into a fruit. Label all of the parts of fruit and flower anatomy that you can see. What type of fruit is this?
- What food sources does the embryo have before it opens its first leaves in the sunlight?
- Oaks and alders are both angiosperms that grow into trees. Oaks produce nuts with large seeds, while alders produce tiny samaras. In a year in the life of a black oak, it might grow 50 cm and produce 6500 nuts. In that same year, a red alder might grow 1-2 meters and produce around 5 million samaras. What are the tradeoffs between these two very different strategies? How might they relate to the different life histories of oaks and alders?
