Fruits and Vegetables

There are many different types of palm trees, but scientific names for common types of palm trees are cocos nucifera (coconut palm tree) and bismarckia nobilis (Bismarck palm tree).

Scientists use genetic modification of fruits and vegetables to improve crop yield, increase resistance to pests and diseases, and enhance nutritional content. This technology can also help in developing crops that are more resilient to harsh environmental conditions, such as drought or extreme temperatures.

Oranges have a thinner and more porous skin compared to apples and bananas, which makes them more susceptible to mold growth. Oranges also have a higher moisture content, providing a better environment for mold to thrive. Additionally, the natural protective compounds in apples and bananas can help slow down the growth of mold compared to oranges.

Defensive chemicals in unripe fruit may deter herbivores, allowing the fruit to reach maturity. As the fruit ripens, it is more attractive to seed-dispersing animals. This co-evolutionary strategy benefits both the plant, by ensuring seed dispersal, and the animals, by providing a nutrient-rich food source.

A guava leaf is typically ovate in shape, with a pointed tip and rounded base. The leaf edges are smooth and the surface is glossy green.

To harvest carrots, gently loosen the soil around the base of the carrot with a garden fork or trowel. Grasp the carrot at the base, near the soil level, and pull it out carefully. Be mindful not to damage the carrot during harvest.

The same difference between a fruit fly and a beetle.

If you're looking for more detail, I suggest you refer to your textbook.

There are several differences in the structures, i.e. vein patterns and sizes but they both appear to be C3 plants with the normal assortment of stoma, mesophyll cells, and cuticles.

Yes, guava leaf comes from the guava tree, which is a dicot plant. Dicots are characterized by having two seed leaves (cotyledons) and typically show branching veins in their leaves, among other characteristics.

When a branch of a tree is shaken its fruits fall down. this is mainly due to inertia of rest. when the tree is shaken the tree is in motion, but the frits remain to be at rest. this is when they seperate from the tree and hence fall due to gravity.

Yes, lemon juice can cause damage to your skin due to its high acidity. It can lead to skin irritation, redness, dryness, and even burns, especially if applied undiluted or left on for too long. It is best to dilute lemon juice before using it on the skin and to perform a patch test first to check for any adverse reactions.

There is no commonly known fruit called "naringe." It is possible that there is a spelling error or that the fruit is not widely recognized. Could you provide more context or information about the fruit you are referring to?

The study of fruits is called pomology. It involves the cultivation, production, and research of fruits for commercial and scientific purposes.

Horticulture is the branch of agriculture dealing with the art, science, technology and business of food and non-food crops. These do include flowers, fruits and vegetables.

Guava leaves have reticulate venation. This means the veins branch out and form a network pattern on the leaf surface rather than running parallel to each other.

They grow well in sandy loose soil. Not necessarily a rich soild but a loose soil. More important than the soil is the climate. Long growing season, hot and in the summer pretty dry, but watermelon raisers irrigate the fruits to keep them growing. Texas and Oklahoma are the two biggest raisers of watermelon here in the states.

Yes, guava leaves typically have reticulate venation, which means the veins branch out in a net-like pattern across the leaf surface. This venation pattern helps in nutrient and water transport within the leaf.

The kernels/fruit of C. odollam (commonly known as the Suicide tree, Pong-pong, and Othalanga) contain cerberin, a potent alkaloid toxin related to digoxin, a poison found in foxglove. The poison blocks the calcium ion channels in heart muscle, causing disruption of the heart beat. This is most often fatal. Cerbera odollam bears a close resemblance to the Oleander bush, another highly toxic plant from the same family.

Yes, there are purple carrots. They are a unique variety of carrots that contain anthocyanin, a pigment that gives them their purple color. Purple carrots are not only visually appealing but also contain beneficial antioxidants.

A fruitologist is a scientist or researcher who studies fruits, including their cultivation, nutritional benefits, flavors, and uses. They may work in areas such as agriculture, botany, or food science to better understand fruits and their impact on health and the environment.

Carrot is a kharif crop . It is planted in june and harvested in october.

A melon seed is a dicot because melon plants belong to the Cucurbitaceae family, which are dicotyledonous plants. This means that their seeds have two cotyledons or seed leaves.

Yes, under favorable conditions such as abundant nutrients and ideal temperature, bacteria can reproduce at a rapid rate through binary fission. Some bacterial species can replicate every 20 minutes, leading to exponential population growth.

A coconut could represent the Earth's structure. With its hard outer shell representing the Earth's crust, the inner flesh symbolizing the mantle, and the liquid inside resembling the Earth's molten core.

Carrots are not typically associated with causing drowsiness or sleepiness. In fact, they are known for providing energy due to their high fiber and nutrient content. However, eating a large amount of carrots close to bedtime may lead to discomfort or indigestion, which could potentially disrupt sleep.

Strawberries are often called pseudocarps of false fruits because the very visible part of the strawberry is a modified receptacle. The true fruit in the strawberry is the seed-like little things embedded on its sides.
