Although bamboo is a grass, many of the larger bamboos are very tree-like in appearance and they are often called "bamboo trees". The reason bamboos are so different from trees is they lack a vascular cambium layer and meristem cells at the top of the culm. The vascular cambium is the perpetually growing layer of a tree's trunk beneath the bark that makes it increase in diameter each year. The meristems make the tree grow taller.\nA single culm (stem) of bamboo from an established rhizome (root) system reaches full height in one growing season, but then persists for several years, gradually increasing the number of side branches and branchlets, but neither growing broader or taller.

I don't know about this particular stadium, but I believe most natural grass stadiums do NOT cover the grass for special events like concerts. Instead, they go about fixing any damage after the fact, usually by resodding.

the grass is green because of the chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis (the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy). the sky is blue because of the water droplets in the air reflecting the oceans. all the colors are the way they are because we see them that way and we decided to name them.

Use analogies.  Why was the sunflower created?.. that might help.. one idea... for how might be.... the trees and the land and the sun wanted something pretty and nutritional to grace the earth... so the trees gave their pretty yellow leaves in the fall and the watermellon gave its seeds as an example and the land gave a pretty green stem.. and the sun and the rain fed the beautiful sun flower.

id say the plants and animals are multi-celled and the others are single-celled. also cell specilization could be a difference.

I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at with this question. Biomass just refers to any organic substance on the planet: plants, animals, bacteria...  See first link below.\n\nWhen people talk about the relative "cost" of biomass, they are often comparing the amount of water and energy it takes to create a certain amount of plant biomass (e.g., 1 kg of wheat) vs the same amount of animal biomass (e.g., 1 kg of steak). Because of the way the food chain works, it takes a lot more resources to create meat for consumption than it does to produce a plant-based (vegetarian) diet. A lot of people therefore eat vegetarian because it's better for the environment (and the earth can sustain a LOT more people on a vegetarian diet.) See second link below for details.\n\nBiomass can also be burned for energy  - e.g. chaff, manure, or peat. This is usually called biofuel. The efficiency depends on the material, but like all methods of producing energy, there is some pollution generated by burning.\n\nI hope this is helpful.

Made from Redwood trees ? you are a moron ! I'd like to see a redwood totem ! How the hell would they erect it ? Move it ? Even chop it down ! before Modern saws it was impossible to fell these giants !

Actually, I have no idea what the question is. But I was going to say a cactus which has needles, but the other guy is better with pine b/c pine needles is more normal, I think.

hardwood: A description applied to woods from deciduous broad-leafed trees (Angiosperms). The term has no reference to the actual hardness of the wood.\n\nsoftwood: any tree in the gymnosperm group, including pines, hemlocks, larches, spruces, firs, and junipers. Softwoods often are called conifers although some, such as junipers and yews do not produce cones.\n\nSo the terms have nothing to do with actual hardness. Although softwoods are generally softer than hardwoods, there is no real cutoff for hardness between the two. For example, balsa is technically a hardwood, although it is one of the softest woods in the world.

People use the words interchangably but they are not correct.  A bison is technically a species, usually an American Bison, sometimes called American Buffalo.  There are many species of Buffalo, or which a bison is not even one of.  Though both bison and buffalo are both bovines, or cows, they belong to their own genus.\n\nBison, and Buffalo, have their own genus, contianing different species.  There are also species like African Buffalo, or Water Buffalo.

there are many plants on earth some of them are tall others are short it's not about escaping yes god make them that way but the question is why\nin simple words we can say to survive the tall trees can have more sun energy which it need it to live\nit's not about roots cuz some tall trees have short root but spread horizontally others spread vertically\nthere is a relation ship between the size of the root and the size of the green part not the tall of the tree

Because is a part of a plant and the apparatus of Golgi is an animal structures. They are not cloroplast because it is a root.

Too little information.\n\nWhere did you get it (ie. what state or contry)?\nHow many petals do the flowers have?\nHow many stamens?\n\nA picture of the actual flower would help, since most plant classification is based on flower structure.

This is too vague a question.  One really needs to know what type of plant or something to give a good answer.  Not all plants grow at the same rate anyway.  Plants at different ages do not grow the same either.

How do you have sex with a tree?\n\nLOL \n\nDo you get it now?
