Introduction
A fruit is a ripened ovary of a flower and may include other floral parts. A wall
called pericarp and endocarp covers it. The function of the fruit is to protect the seeds

and help in it dispersal, and maybe differentiated into exocarp and mesocarp in its
dispersal. The term fruit commonly refers to juicy and succulent structures such as
apples, guava, papaya, mango, grapes, etc., but in a true botanical sense, such
vegetables like tomato, okra, beans, grains, cereals, and eggplants, etc. are all true
fruits. They may be classified according to composition and consistency, and other
bases.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of this exercise the student should be able to:

1. Identify the parts of a fruit;

2. Classify various fruits according to structure and composition.
MATERIALS:
1 Scalpel or knife

EXERCISE 7: ANATOMY OF FRUIT

In this exercise, you are going to examine and bisect fruits. The fruit of a
flowering plant may be defined as a matured ovary and its contents, together with other
flower parts that may sometimes adhere to it.
1. Examine and observe the bisect apple and tomato for the parts of a fruit. An
apple and tomato has an ovary with several compartment where seeds are
found.
4
2. Draw and label the parts of the bisect apple and tomato on your worksheet.
Note the following structures mesocarp, exocarp, endocarp, pedicel, seeds.
3. The following links will give you some information about the parts of the fruits.
Diligently view some of the video clips and slides and take notes of some
important facts about the parts of the fruits.
