Fruits-Renee Canales
What: Apple (pome)
Where: my kitchen
So: Apple showing the exocarp, mesocarp, seed, and endocarp
What: Sunflower Seed (Achene)
Where: my kitchen
So: Sunflower seeds are a simple, dry pericarped indehescent fruit. This doesn't show the seedcoat, but it has the papery coating and the seed itself.
Comments
Actually you are showing the seedcoat, but not the pericarp.

Also, remember that the fleshy part of the apple is the hypanthium, not the mesocarp like in a drupe. The pericarp is the papery part in the core of the apple.
