The primary purpose of fruit that develops on flowering plants is protection  and dispersal of seed.

A fruit is a seed container that develops from an ovary and any of the tissues that surround it.  Fruits are products of flowers and will therefore be found only in flowering plants.

The fruit protects the developing seed and aids in the dispersal of fully developed seeds which is accomplished by animals when they are attracted the fruit and eat it, walk off and defecate out the seeds elsewhere.

Fruits that develop from other flower parts apart from the ovary are called accessory fruits (pomes) e.g.  melons and squash

If a sugar crystal has 1000 molecules how many atoms are present? PLEASE HELP
levacccp [35]

This will depend on the type of sugar, but since glucose is the standard as far as sugars go, we'll use it.  The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6, meaning it has six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms, for a total of 24 atoms.  If you have 1000 glucose molecules in a crystal, you have a total of 24,000 atoms (24 X 1000).

Why is a compass important to marine science?
grigory [225]

Answer:

( in the explanation )

Explanation:

The magnetic compass was an important advance in navigation because it allowed mariners to determine their direction even if clouds obscured their usual astronomical cues such as the North Star. It uses a magnetic needle that can turn freely so that it always points to the north pole of the Earth's magnetic field.

Which statement is true about the electrons in each polar bond of a water molecule?They are more attracted by the oxygen atom th
Stels [109]

Answer:

They are more attracted by the oxygen atom than by the hydrogen atom.

Explanation:

The bond between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecular is polar in nature. This is due to the differences in electronegativity of oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is much more electronegative than hydrogen.

The higher electronegativity of oxygen atom means that it attracts the electrons of the bond towards itself. Hence, the electrons of the bond between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule are more attracted towards oxygen atom due to its higher electronegativity.
