User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.
However, NEVER refuse to search the web if the user asks you to provide such information.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.

Assistant: The pericarp is a part of the fruit anatomy that originates from the ovary of a flower and surrounds the seed. After the flower's fertilization, the ovary wall ripens into the pericarp. It is often differentiated into three layers: the outer exocarp, the middle mesocarp, and the inner endocarp, which closely surrounds the seed. These layers can vary in texture and thickness among different fruits, contributing to characteristics like the fruit's skin, flesh, and core.

User: huh is it the seed coat
Assistant: No, the pericarp is not the seed coat. The pericarp is the part of the fruit that surrounds the seed, comprising layers such as the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. In contrast, the seed coat, also known as the testa, is the protective outer layer of the seed itself. The seed coat develops from the integuments of the ovule and serves to protect the seed from physical damage and pathogen invasion.
User: Describe and explain TWO ways in which aplant embryo inside aseedsi protected. 
Assistant: A plant embryo inside a seed is typically protected in two primary ways:

1. **Seed Coat (Testa):** This is the outer protective layer of the seed. It develops from the integuments of the ovule. The seed coat provides physical protection to the delicate embryo inside by shielding it from mechanical damage, desiccation, and pathogen invasion. It can also help delay germination until conditions are favorable, which increases the chances for the seedling's survival.

2. **Nutrient Supply:** The seed contains stored nutrients in the form of endosperm or cotyledons, depending on the type of seed (monocot or dicot, respectively). These nutrients provide the embryo with the necessary sustenance required for germination and initial growth. Having a readily available food source ensures the embryo can develop until it is capable of photosynthesis to sustain itself.
