simple fruit
(noun)
fruit that develops from a single carpel or fused carpels of a single ovary
Examples of simple fruit in the following topics:
-
Development of Fruit and Fruit Types
- Fruits are generally associated with having a sweet taste; however, not all fruits are sweet.
- Fruits may be classified as simple, aggregate, multiple, or accessory, depending on their origin .
- If the fruit develops from a single carpel or fused carpels of a single ovary, it is known as a simple fruit, as seen in nuts and beans.
- Fruits can be dry or fleshy.
- Simple fruits, such as these nuts, are derived from a single ovary.
-
Starvation-Induced Fruiting Bodies
- Starvation-induced fruiting bodies can aggregate up to 500 micrometres long and contain approximately 100,000 bacterial cells.
- In these fruiting bodies, the bacteria perform separate tasks; this type of cooperation is a simple type of multicellular organisation.
- These fruiting bodies can take different shapes and colors, depending on the species.
- Within the fruiting bodies, cells begin as rod-shaped vegetative cells and develop into rounded myxospores with thick cell walls.
- At a molecular level, initiation of fruiting body development is regulated by Pxr sRNA.
-
Lab: One-Way ANOVA
- The student will conduct a simple One-Way ANOVA test involving three variables.
- Record the price per pound of 8 fruits, 8 vegetables, and 8 breads in your local supermarket.
- Compute the following:Fruit:1.1 $\bar{x}$ =1.2 $s_x$ =1.3 n =Vegetables:1.4 $\bar{x}$ =1.5 $s_x$ =1.6 n =Bread:1.7 $\bar{x}$ =1.8 $s_x$ =1.9 n =
-
Angsiosperm Fruit
- In botany, a fertilized, fully-grown, and ripened ovary is a fruit.
- Many foods commonly-called vegetables are actually fruit.
- Mature fruit can be fleshy or dry.
- Rice, wheat, and nuts are examples of dry fruit.
- Wind carries the light dry fruit of trees and dandelions .
-
Fruit and Seed Dispersal
- Some fruits can disperse seeds on their own, while others require assistance from wind, water, or animals.
- The fruit has a single purpose: seed dispersal.
- Similarly, willow and silver birches produce lightweight fruit that can float on water.
- Some animals, such as squirrels, bury seed-containing fruits for later use; if the squirrel does not find its stash of fruit, and if conditions are favorable, the seeds germinate.
- Summarize the ways in which fruits and seeds may be dispersed

Carbohydrates: Sources, Uses in the Body, and Dietary Requirements
- Daily food intake that includes 8-10 fruit and vegetable servings (not starchy potatoes or grains, such as corn and rice) will not only provide plenty of energy but will also keep glucose levels in balance.
- Foods high in carbohydrate include fruits, sweets, soft drinks, breads, pastas, beans, potatoes, bran, rice, and cereals.
- The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) jointly recommend that national dietary guidelines set a goal of 55–75% of total energy from carbohydrates, but only 10% directly from sugars (their term for simple carbohydrates).
-
Importance of Carbohydrates
- Carbohydrates are, in fact, an essential part of our diet; grains, fruits, and vegetables are all natural sources of carbohydrates.
- Importantly, carbohydrates provide energy to the body, particularly through glucose, a simple sugar that is a component of starch and an ingredient in many basic foods.
- A low-calorie diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meat, together with plenty of exercise and plenty of water, is the more sensible way to lose weight.
-
Protist Life Cycles and Habitats
- Protist life cycles range from simple to extremely elaborate.
- Upon maturation, the plasmodium takes on a net-like appearance with the ability to form fruiting bodies, or sporangia, during times of stress.
- Cells atop the stalk form an asexual fruiting body that contains haploid spores.
- In aggregate form, some individuals contribute to the formation of a stalk, on top of which sits a fruiting body full of spores that disseminate and germinate in the proper moist environment.
-
Plant Tissues and Organ Systems
- Plant tissues are either simple (composed of similar cell types) or complex (composed of different cell types).
- Dermal tissue, for example, is a simple tissue that covers the outer surface of the plant and controls gas exchange.
- The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems; and the reproductive parts of the plant, which include flowers and fruits.
- The shoot system of a plant consists of leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits.
-
Schedules of Reinforcement
- Schedules vary from simple ratio- and interval-based schedules to more complicated compound schedules that combine one or more simple strategies to manipulate behavior.
- Simple intermittent schedules are a combination of these terms, creating the following four types of schedules:
- This can be seen in payment for work such as fruit picking: pickers are paid a certain amount (reinforcement) based on the amount they pick (behavior), which encourages them to pick faster in order to make more money.
- All of the examples described above are referred to as simple schedules.
- Compound schedules combine at least two simple schedules and use the same reinforcer for the same behavior.
