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

In what processes is carbon a reactant or a product in the carbon cycle?
fiasKO [112]

Carbon is a reactant in the process of photosynthesis but a product in the process of cellular respiration.

<h3>What is carbon cycle?</h3>

Carbon cycle is the physical cycle of carbon through the Earth’s biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

It is the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, that includes such processes as

  • photosynthesis
  • decomposition
  • respiration
  • carbonification

Carbon cycle involves the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.

Therefore, carbon is present in the atmosphere as a reactant during photosynthesis and as a product during cellular respiration.
