    Study Notes

    Fruit Types

    • Pome: Has an outer fleshy layer and an inner papery core (e.g., apples, pears).
    • Samara: Contains a small dry seed adorned with one or two wing-like structures, aiding in wind dispersal.
    • Berry: Characterized by a fleshy and juicy ovary throughout, includes fruits like tomatoes and grapes.
    • Drupe: Features an outer fleshy layer and a hard inner woody layer, typical examples are cherries and peaches.

    Plant Reproduction and Dispersal

    • Gametes: The reproductive cells of a plant, namely sperm and egg.
    • Animal Dispersal: Observed in the sandbur, where fruits with spines attach to animals or clothing, facilitating movement and germination in different locations.
    • Aggregate Fruit: A type of fruit arising from a single flower that possesses multiple pistils, seen in fruits like raspberries and blackberries.

    Additional Plant Processes

    • Nectar: A sweet, watery liquid secreted by flower glands, attracts pollinators and aids in reproductive processes.
    • Radicle: The embryonic part that develops into the root system, essential for nutrient uptake and anchorage of the plant.
