User: what is the difference between a fruit and a seed?

Weegy: seed, fertilized and ripened ovule, consisting of the plant embryo, varying amounts of stored food material, and a protective outer seed coat. Seeds are frequently confused with the fruit enclosing them in flowering plants as in the grains and nuts. [ True seeds vary in size from the dustlike seeds of some orchids to the large seed contained in the coconut. The period of dormancy undergone by many seeds before germination also varies; the mangrove seed may sprout inside a fruit still hanging on the tree, while a seed of a sacred lotus dated at about 1,200 years and one of a date palm about 2,000 years old have been germinated. Long dormancy in some seeds is ensured by their extremely hard coats, which have to be scratched or split to force sprouting. In plant breeding, the source of pollen for fertilization is carefully controlled to produce the desired qualities in seed; under natural conditions a plant grown from seed may be quite different genetically from its maternal plant. fruit, matured ovary of the pistil of a flower, containing the seed. After the egg nucleus, or ovum, has been fertilized (see fertilization) and the embryo plantlet begins to form, the surrounding ovule (see pistil) develops into a seed and the ovary wall (pericarp) around the ovule becomes the fruit. The pericarp consists of three layers of tissue: the thin outer exocarp, which becomes the "skin"; the thicker mesocarp; and the inner endocarp, immediately surrounding the ovule. A flower may have one or more simple pistils or a compound pistil made up of two or more fused simple pistils (each called a carpel); different arrangements give rise to different types of fruit. A new variety of fruit is obtained as a hybrid in plant breeding or may develop spontaneously by mutation. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071127010614AA5QvJ6 ]

Weegy: Too bad frozen didn't work for you. I've had good luck with them. You might want to try different brands that might have better freezing technology because frozen, aside from being cheaper and easier to get all year long, [ are nearly as good for you nutritionally as fresh. In lieu of that not working for you, then I think your next option is to go for canned or dried fruits, either of which might suit your taste and be easy to find all year, but will not have quite the same nutrutional punch as fresh or frozen without added sugars and such. If you are really feeling motivated to get some good fruit for your yogurt, and you have the time and space for it, you could try growing, say, strawberries indoors and then you could have fresh fruit all year round. Just make sure you grown an ever-fruiting variety. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20070913065003AAfsOvT ]
