An Apple with a Window
A described cutaway diagram reveals an apple's hidden parts and shows how labels, lines, colors, and a caption help readers understand them.
Play the quiz as a gameA whole apple hides much of itself. You can see its skin, but where are its seeds? A cutaway can help you look inside without cutting a real apple. This kind of drawing shows an object with part of its outside removed.
Picture an apple diagram under the heading “Outside to Inside.” A diagram is a drawing that explains something. This one shows a red apple with half of its front peeled away in the drawing, from the stem to the bottom.
Four labels name the parts. Each label has a line that touches one part. The skin label points to the thin red edge. Skin covers the apple and helps protect it. The flesh label points to the wide, light yellow area beneath the skin. Flesh is the juicy part people usually eat.
Near the center, a dotted line surrounds a narrow area. The core label points inside that line. The core is the apple's firmer middle part. The dotted line helps you see where the flesh ends and the core begins.
Small brown ovals sit inside the core. The seeds label points to these shapes. They show where the apple's seeds are found. A seed can grow into a new apple tree if it has the right conditions.
Below the drawing, a caption says, “An apple's skin covers the flesh, and its core holds seeds.” A caption is a short note about a picture. Together, the colors, lines, and words make the apple's hidden parts easier to understand.
