A true fruit is a ripened ovary that usually starts ripening when it is fertilized. And vegetable is any vegetative part of the plant which is edible and contains stored food probably in the form of starch.
These definitions are not exact as there are a lot of fruits which are fruits but do not strictly follow the given definition. See Syconus, Composite fruits, Sorosis.etc

Classification is based on several different criteria, for example the mode of reproduction, arrangement and design of flowering parts and flowers and also on the basis of habitat and habit.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

  • to have cell walls made of chitin
  • eukaryotic heterotrophs

Explanation:

Domains are the highest taxonomic category in which living beings can be grouped or divided. There are three domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

The eukarya domain is composed of the Protist, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia kingdoms.

Kingdoms include different phyla closely related.

The Fungi kingdom includes yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. All of them are characterized by the same general aspects.

All the members of the kingdom

  • Lack mobility, growing on the ground, organic matter, or other surfaces.
  • They all have a rigid cell wall composed of chitin.
  • They grow like hyphae, which are cylindrical uniformed structures that might reach many centimeters in length.
  • Heterotrophic nutrition. The species can not produce their own food, so they decompose organic matter and get the nutrients from there.
  • Reproduction is by spores, which are resistant to adverse environmental conditions.

consuming high levels of provitamin a carotenoids, which come from plant sources, does not lead to vitamin a toxicity.
Feliz [49]

Consuming high levels of pro vitamin A carotenoid, which come from plant sources, does not lead to vitamin A toxicity. This statement is true.

Vitamin A is obtained mainly from the food products we eat, but it is also synthesized in our body via pro vitamin A carotenoids like beta-carotene. When high amounts of pro vitamin A carotene are consumed in the diet of a person they are converted very slowly and naturally in our body into vitamin A in the intestine.

Vitamin A has many benefits including defense from pathogens, strengthening immune system, improving vision, and also improving overall growth and development of the body etc.

What would cause an individual to have a mutation in all of their cells?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

Hope that helped
