5). What is true of both nuts and seeds?
(A) They have an embryo plus an integument.
(B) They have a plant fruit unattached to an ovary.
(C) They are extremely nutritious. It would have been the correct answer.I say- not all seeds are nutritious there are poisonous ones. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poisonous_plants) More common in them that the can reproduce themselves from their seeds/nuts.So the correct answer is the (D)
(D) They will grow into new plants when buried.-this is one which is common in them.
I don’t know what your opinion, but to my best memory my answers are correct.
almonds with kernel
almonds ’ kernel
wheat kernels-material base of flour
whole grain with kernel
kernel and the seed of a peach
P.s.
When I used to be a child we didn’t eat the bitter apricot “seed” because it was poisonous it had cyanide.
Watermelon example also incredible because I saw very little watermelon from which we made sourness and the teeny-weeny grains are in them.Of course in the marrows and cucumber also.
