Fruits and Seed Dispersal Nicole Saylor Meiko M. Thompson BIO 115 11/25/12 In this essay I will be answering questions about fruit and as to the reason why things are the way they are... First up is some fruits are sweet and some are not is because‚ “Actually‚ the taste of a fruit depends on the compounds present in it. Normally a fruit contains the materials like cellulose‚ proteins‚ starch‚ vitamins‚ certain acids‚ fructose or sugar. All these materials are found in mixed form inside the

are some fruits sweet and some sour‚ whereas others have no specific taste? Naturally fruit contains cellulose‚ proteins‚ starch‚ proteins‚ vitamins‚ certain acids and fructose (or sugar). When fruit ripens‚ a series of chemical changes occur in the fruit that result in either a sweet fruit‚ sweet and sour fruit‚ sour fruit or fruit with no specific taste. During these changes‚ the acids content in fruit becomes less and the fructose content increases thereby resulting in a sweet fruit (Coen

Placing fruit in a bag will help hasten the ripening for only a few fruits. Most fruits will not ripen (ever) once they have been picked. The only fruits that ripen once they’re picked are bananas‚ avocados‚ pears‚ mango‚ and kiwifruit. Ripeness in fruits is based on sugar content‚ not color‚ thus most tomatoes in grocery stores have no flavor because they were picked green and exposed to ethylene gas to induce color change. Tomatoes are what are known as a "climacteric fruit" which means they’ll

a different plant all by themselves in order to reproduce. So how do they do it? Well there are multiple ways that this process occurs. All of which differentiate who or what helps the plant spread its seeds. Plants spread their seeds through wind‚ water‚ & animals. A perfect example of how wind disperses seeds of plants is the dandelion. Dandelions have parachute or umbrella like hairs‚ also known as pappus‚ above the one seed in the plant. Any sliver of wind can take these plants airborne

FRUITS‚ SEEDS AND THE FUTURE JEANETTE JOHNSON A fruit results from the maturation of one or more flowers. The ovule producing part of the flower forms all or part of the fruit. Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more small eggs‚ where the embryo sac contains the egg cell. When the female embryo sac joins with two male sperm these ovules become seeds. (Biology Online‚ 2005) Each fruit is made of certain acids‚ vitamins‚ fructose

Seed Dispersal Presented by: Meredith Kueny (mek224@cornell.edu) What is a seed? A seed contains an embryo embedded in an endosperm (nutritious tissue). It contains an immature plant and everything it needs to sprout in a new location‚ become established‚ and eventually grow into an adult plant. Without seeds‚ forests would not be able to regenerate. Forests are important because they provide many ecological services such as clean air and clean water‚ and they provide us with a lot of valuable

Data Analysis Does radiation affect the growth of seeds? If‚ plant seeds are exposed to microwave radiation‚ then the seeds will grow less than how a seed is usually grown. The independent variable was the amount of microwave radiation the seeds receive. The dependent variable was the growth of the plant seeds. Control variables were the amount of water (30 mL at a time)‚ the amount of light (11 hours each day)‚ and the amount of seeds. The control group was the non-microwaved seeds. The experimental

it diffuses quite quickly in the air. Ripening can be accelerated or decelerated depending on the conditions green fruits are put under for example washing fruits or wrapping them in newspaper. Therefore newspaper (wrapping green fruit in newspaper) is the independent variable while ripening is the dependent variable. Hypothesis: Green fruits wrapped in newspaper ripen faster than those left in the open/ unwrapped. Aim: Investigate whether green fruits wrapped in newspaper ripen faster than when

This study will prove and give new ideas to the industry that we can use different ingredients or raw materials in producing new products. The jackfruit has played

The effects of gelatin on the process of Fermentation How does gelatin affect the process of fermentation? The experimenters hypothesized that the more gelatin that was added into the mixtures of yeast and water‚ the more the mixtures will ferment. The experimenter’s hypothesis was not determined correct or incorrect due to the inconclusive results of the experiment. Throughout the experiment‚ none of the balloons grew from fermentation. The results of the labs were meant to measure the CO₂ released
