| fruit |
The part of a plant that grows where a flower used to be, after the flower was pollinated and died. The fruit contains the seeds, which can grow new plants. Fruits are often fleshy with juices and nutrients for animals to eat. After animals eat the fruit, they poop the seeds out somewhere new, and the seeds can grow into new plants.

| fructose |
(levulose) is a simple carbohydrate widely distributed in organism, plants, and animals. It can be found in fruit juices, honey, and sugarcane. Fructose in the body may be changed into glucose by the liver and intestines. As glucose it is used by the body in several ways, including as a source of energy. Fructose is the sweetest of sugars. It is used therapeutically as a fluid and nutrient replenisher.
