What type of fruit is this image?

Achene, a one-seeded, dry fruit that doesn't split open at maturity. Achenes are typically small and contain a single seed. What we typically call "seeds" in strawberries.

What is the dispersal method of this?

Anemochory, the dispersal of seeds or spores by wind.

What is the pollination of plants by wind called?

Anemophily, which involves the transfer of pollen through the air to fertilize other plants.

What is in the square?

Annulus, a ring-like structure found on certain fungi, typically marking the location where the veil was attached to the cap.

What is the arrow pointing to?

Anther, the part of a flower that produces pollen and is typically located atop the filament.

What are the arrows pointing to?

Antheridiophore, a reproductive structure in certain liverworts that bears male gametes (antheridia).

What are the arrows by the pink box pointing to?

Antheridium, the male reproductive structure in certain non-flowering plants that produces sperm.

What does the picture display?

Apotheicum, a specialized structure in some fungi that produces ascospores.

What is the the large structure that the pink box is above?

Archegoniophore, a reproductive structure in certain liverworts that bears female gametes (archegonia).

What are the lines by the pink box pointing to?

Archegonium, the female reproductive structure in certain non-flowering plants that produces eggs.

What is the green arrow pointing to?

Ascus, a sac-like structure in fungi that contains and releases ascospores.

What is the green arrow pointing to?

Ascospore, a fungal spore produced in an ascus during sexual reproduction.

What does this image show?

Asexual spores, the reproductive spores produced by fungi through mitosis.

What type of dispersal occurs with this fruit?

Autochory, the type of dispersal method that where the fruit explodes releasing the seeds?

What is the pink arrow pointing to?

Basidium, the spore-producing structure found in certain fungi. It is typically club-shaped and produces basidiospores.

What is the pink arrow pointing to?

Basidiospore, the haploid spore produced by a basidium in fungi.

What is this?

Berry, a fleshy fruit that develops from a single ovary, containing multiple seeds.

What method of pollination is performed by this?

Buzz pollination, where insects use rapid wing vibration to release pollen from a flower’s anthers. 

What is the arrow pointing to?

Cap, the top part of a mushroom that houses spores.

What is the type of pollination occurring in the picture?

Chiropterophily, pollination by bats, often involving large, nocturnal flowers.

What is shown in this image?

Coenocytic (Aseptate) hyphae, which are hyphae that are multinucleate and lack cross-walls, allowing for continuous cytoplasmic flow.

What is pictured in the square?

Conidia

What is the arrow pointing to?

Conidophores, that produce conidia.

What is the green arrow pointing to?

Conidiospores, which are asexual spores produced at the tips of conidiophores.
