Part 2: The Fruit Name Game Your textbook lists many different types of fruits, some of these you probably ALWAYS thought of as something else. (Like perhaps a VEGETABLE!) Go to your refrigerator or take a stroll through the grocery store and locate 4 “fruits” that are commonly known as one thing but according to botanists should be called something else. State what the fruit is commonly known as State what type of fruit it actually is and explain why it belongs in that category.

For example: A pumpkin is commonly known as a vegetable. However, it actually should be categorized as a Pepo which is a fruit with multiple seeds and a thick rind on the outside.

A grape is not usually considered a berry but it is actually a true berry because it is developed from a complex ovary (multiple seeds) and has a relatively thin but DISTINCT outer exocarp.

Expert Answer

Part 1: Sepal (calyx) – Sepals are the outer most part of a flower that protects the flower during development and keeps it from drying out. Petal (Corolla)- Petals are BRIGHTLY colored and produce sweet odor to attract insects.
