No. Whole wheat flour has not been ground as finely as white flour, nor bleached. However, if you use the correct proportions, and add in a little wheat germ, you can get something similar, graham flour.
The bran on the grain was not removed before the grain was milled to make whole wheat flour.
Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
Whole wheat flour, also called graham flour, is made from the endosperm, bran, and germ combined; it has a higher protein content than regular white flour.

White bread is made from wheat flour that has been processed to remove the bran and germ - thereby making it white. Whole wheat bread has been made with whole wheat flour - four that has been processed from the intact grain. Whole wheat bread will naturally contain more fiber. There are some recent varieties of wheat that produce a whiter flour. You can find them on the grocery shelf labeled as "white whole wheat".
Whole wheat flour contains the entire grain including the bran and "germ" of the wheat berry (grain.) Pastry flour is more highly refined, with the bran and germ removed. Pastry flour also is made from strains of wheat with lower gluten (protein) than all-purpose or bread flour, in order to produce tender pastries.
no, wheat bran is an additive that can be ADDED to products as where wheat flour IS the product
The answer depends on what is meant by seeds. All wheat bread, both white and whole wheat, is made with the seeds of the wheat plant which are ground into flour. White bread is made with flour ground from seeds that have had the outer husk (bran) and germ removed. Whole wheat bread includes the bran and germ in the flour. Other types of bread have different sorts of whole or cracked seeds added to the dough, but these breads would be identified as such. Examples include Cracked Whole Wheat bread, Poppy Seed bread, Rye bread with Caraway Seeds, or Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed bread.
Wheat bran is slightly lighter in weight, but it shouldn't make that much difference. It probably has a little more of a flavor, but is probably not a big enough factor in any recipe to matter.
