I installed Electrum and created a wallet there. All I know is the seed generated. I don't know private keys from the Bitcoin addresses it manages for me.
You can export them, but remember you need software to recover private keys/public addresses from seed and in future software will change and it will be more problematic to recover keys from old seeds securely.
Most basic form of controling your funds are private keys, from private key you have full control and from private key you can create your public address.
