Simple Fruit

A simple fruit is classified in this category if it develops from a single ovary containing one or more carpels and may or may not include additional modified accessory floral structures. It is either fresh or a dry fruit. Fleshy foods are often edible and seen in your local super market. The three main kinds of fleshy fruit are the berry, the drupe, and the pome. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/simple+fruit)

Examples:

• grapes
• tomatoes
• oranges
• lemons
• cucumbers
• peaches
• plums

(Tomatoes are classified in the berry category because the ovary wall of the carpel becomes almost completely fleshy at maturity)

Aggregate fruit

Aggregate means collection of small fruits. It is a fruit consisting of many individual small fruits derived from separate ovaries within a single flower, borne together on a common receptacle http://www.fruitsinfo.com/aggregate-fruit.php Examples: Raspberries Blackberries Strawberries Apples (Apples are etaerio of drupes which is an aggregate fruit type.)

Imbibition

Imbibition is the act of consuming liquids, the absorption of a liquid. It is the act of imbibing which is caused when the taking up of fluid by a colloidal system results in swelling. It is reversible and is exhibited by many biological compounds, particularly by cell-wall constituents such as pectin, celluloses, and lignin. (http://botanydictionary.org/imbibition.html)

(This is an example of imbibition, the plant is consuming the liquid of water from the blue circular water container and absorbing it allow photosynthesis to occur to feed itself.) 

Photosynthesis

It's the process when plants use energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, giving the plant fuel. The photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Plants need only light energy, CO₂, and H₂O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

 (Flowers are needed for the uptake of water as photosynthesis is the combining of sunlight, CO2 and water to make sugar and some extra water and oxygen.)

Herbivores

Herbivores are animals that only eat plants or grass. By eating only this specific diet they get all their nutrients and energy mostly from the plants. Many animals who are herbivores eat all day long such as cows. Herbivores cannot eat meat, they have a special digestive system which can only digest plants. ( http://www.blurtit.com/q765769.html)

Examples of herbivores :

• cows
• sheep
• rabbits

(cows are constantly eating grass throughout the day and can't digest anything else so they are considered herbivores eating mainly grass)

Carnivores

A carnivore is an animal that gets their food from killing and eating another animal. Since carnivores have to hunt down and kill other animals they require a large amount of calories. This means that they have to fuel more frequently. Carnivore comes from the latin word "meat eater".

Examples of carnivores:

• lion
• snake
• frog
• eagle
• spiders

(Depending on the pedigree you feed your dog they are carnivores. Mike Sagman, a writer for Dog Food Advisor announces "From DNA studies, we know dogs evolved directly from the timber wolf somewhere around 15,000 years ago.And wolves are clearly carnivores. By genetic pedigree, dogs demonstrate similar and noticeable carnivorous traits." http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/canine-nutrition/dogs-carnivores-omnivores)

Omnivores

An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats other animals or plants. Omnivores eat plants, but not all kinds of plants. Unlike herbivores, omnivores can't digest some of the substances in grains or other plants that do not produce fruit. They can eat fruits and vegetables, though.  

Examples of omnivores are:

• grizzly bears
• striped skunks
• racoons
• polar bears
• humans
• blue jays
• woodpeckers

(Monkeys are omnivores depending on the type of species. Many will eat insects but when they can eat meat they well, they have their exceptions on their environment.)
