Fruit- Dry with Seed

Dry fruit with seeds have two types. One example is a pistachio, in which have seeds that are contained in a seedpod which would open to release the seeds. However, it doesn’t have to have a seed pod that opens. Dry fruits occur when the entire pericarp, formed from the wall of the ripened ovary, becomes dry at maturity. Dry fruits include achenes, grains, legumes, nuts, and capsules.

Littoral Zone Organism

The littoral zone is the part of the beach that is both exposed to sunlight and covered in water depending on the tide.

However, barnacles are one example of an organism that thrives in this zone due to adapting to these conditions.IMG_3912
