Q1 i KITTO KATSU YOU WILL WIN IS THE FORM OF KIT KAT IN JAPAN. ii Mole and Myopic eyes cannot also look up . xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx iii It is a wrong perception or physical erroneous understanding that seed is outside; biologically, it is not so as detailed by a learned biologist: There is NO FRUIT IN THE WORLD THAT HAS ITS SEED/ S OUTSIDE!!!! It is Botanically and Scientifically Wrong; still the misconception exists due to the preconceived ideas about fruits and seeds and the lack of botanical knowledge. This is my humble attempt to clear it and put the things (In this case fruit and seed) in their right perspective. Explanations below are immediately followed by the relevant illustration /s. Just click on that link. 1) In a flower there is an ovary which is the female reproductive part or a part of the female reproductive system. (Stigma and style are the other two parts, broadly speaking). Inside the ovary there is one to many ovules (THEY ARE ALWAYS INSIDE AND NEVER OUTSIDE. THIS IS CRUCIAL PART TO UNDERSTAND).Now the illustrations ---[image: link] http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/13200/13275/c… 2) During pollination the pollen grains carrying the male gamete land on the stigma and give out a pollen tube for fertilization. Now for the illustrations ----[image: link] https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/77-pollination-and-fertilisation 3) During fertilization the pollen tube passes through the ovule and male and female gametes unite.See the same illustrations above . 4) Now , during the post-fertilization changes the ovule/s are turned in to SEED/S and the ovary turns in to a FRUIT. THUS THE SEED/S ARE ALWAYS INSIDE A FRUIT .function of the fruit is to protect the developing seeds and aid in their dispersal.Coconut fruit cut open to show seed inside -[image: link]

[image: link] https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-does-a-strawberry-have-seeds-on-the-outside In cashew nut like wise it is the flower base that is juicy and yellow orange in color. Real kidney shaped fruit is attached to it and encloses theseed which is the real cashew of commerce ( Salted roasted or plain !!!) [image: link] https://specialtyproduce.com/produce/Cashew_Fruit_16666.php Raspberry - See a number of tiny red fruitlets together. Each with even a tinier seed inside . [image: link] https://www.britannica.com/plant/raspberry You may have already heard that peanuts are not nuts. They are actually legumes and are members of the pea family. But did you know that cashews, almonds, and several other common “culinary nuts” are not true nuts either? To help us understand why this is, it is important to know what the definition of a true "nut" is. Botanically, a nut is a dry fruit that consists of a hard shell covering a single seed. Some examples of true nuts include acorns, chestnuts, and hazelnuts. On the other hand, the fruits of the cashew, almond, and pistachio plants are not true nuts, but are rather classified as “drupes.” Drupes are fruits that are fleshy on the outside and contain a shell covering a seed on the inside. What we consume is this seed. The classification of walnuts and pecans is not as clear cut— they have characteristics of both nuts and drupes, but don’t completely fulfill the criteria for either. Some refer to them as “nut-like drupes”, others as “drupaceous nuts”. Interestingly, peaches and mangoes are also drupes—except in this case, we eat the fleshy exterior and not the shell and seed found inside it. Confusing, isn’t it? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx vi Only 5 continents and not 7 ;The 7 continents are Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, North America, South America, and Antarctica.115 words have such characters. viii Lemons are significantly larger, while limes are smaller. Limes tend to be round in shape, whereas lemons are more oblong or oval-shaped. In terms of taste, lemons are generally a bit sweeter than limes. While limes have a more acidic and tart flavor, lemons have a more bitter sweet taste. Both will float in salty water since the density of salt water is high. Because the water content is 87% in Lemon and 88% in Lime, , that lemon which floats in normal water,with 87% water content, changed in Lime with just one percent more water content where lime will sink in good water.
