The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.
As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes orbean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example.
So, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking.
Hope this helps :)
The<u> ion concentration</u> in water molecules controls the amount of water in a compartment
The concentration of ions in a body of water determines the rate of diffusion and osmosis that occurs in a body of water contained within a body compartment. which has a direct impact on the amount of water that is held in any water body compartment.
Hence we can conclude that the ion concentration in water molecules controls the amount of water in a compartment.

There are 2 functions for cell surface markers. The first is to recognize the outside cell. The second is to allow the cell to bind to substances outside the cell.
Cell surface markers are proteins expressed on the surface of cells that often conveniently serve as markers of specific cell types. There are different types of cell surface markers. These markers are vital for the human body to function. These markers also vitally affect the functions of other biological systems of other organisms and creatures such as animals.
Color, smell/ odor, taste
Answer:
Any of the answers are correct. This question is completely opinionated (I chose no).
[If you limit your interpretation of the biological species concept to only what happens in nature, lions and tigers are separate species. In contrast, if you consider what is possible with human intervention, you could argue that lions and tigers are not separate species since they can be crossed to form fertile ligers.
The biological species concept is one of over 20 different species concepts that attempt to put nature into human-constructed categories. Most biologists would agree that the challenge of defining species has still not been elegantly solved.]
