The life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks. \n************************************************************\nthe lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n************************************************************\nRecent illegal deforestation of the Monarch's overwintering grounds have led to a drastic reduction in the butterfly's population. Efforts to classify it as a protected species and to restore its habitat are under way. Mexican authorities expected a significant increase in the Monarch population in the 2005-2006.

Shyguy is right.  It is called a phylogenetic diagram (or tree).  It is theorectical, based upon genetics and is a major part of cladistic analysis.\nAn older term is the Tree of Life and it is based upon the differences in the physical characteristics of life forms, allowing one to classify an individual specimen as a specific plant or animal.

Depends on where you were in the coast redwood forest. If you were further north (Humboldt or Del Norte Co) I'd say it was likely an evergreen huckleberry (to 12' tall, usually 6'). How big were the leaves? (about 1", huckleberry) Were they pointed? If they were scented, narrow (1" across), long (3-8"), and pointed it may be bay (more of a tree--20-30'). If they were broader, as long, and rounded it's probably rhododendron. If you were further south the likely species might change a little.\nHere's a link to photos; they'll have other photos you can look at and you can search by habitat type too (but I wouldn't recommend it). Of course they're not blooming now, but oh well.

None.It grows that way.On trees of course.lol

One main advantage is the ability of the offspring to take advantage of the parent's resources while the young tree is growing. Trees growing from seeds are limited to the resources in the seed to get their start; trees from root-shoots can borrow from the parent until they can make it on their own. Think of a redwood: most of their reproduction is asexual. Their seedlings have little chance in the deep shade of a forest, but when root-sprouts can take advantage of resources from an already-mature tree getting light in the canopy, the sprouts can grow 3 feet a year.\nSome trees can also root-sprout or stump-sprout if they are cut or fall down. That's another big advantage--to be able to reproduce almost after you're dead.\nAnother advantage is that an asexually reproducing tree is assured of a good environment for its offspring--if it has enough energy to reproduce, it must be doing well. Of course that advantage is shared by non-dispersing sexually reproducing trees.

The "walking tree".\n\nThis tree has no central root as such and it stands on a large number of roots that grow close to or above the ground.\n\nThese roots tend to grow more on the side where there is light, and so if, for example, there seems to be more light to the west, more roots will grow on the west side and gradually the plant will move in that direction.\n\nThe trees can move up to 15 centimeters a year. This is an example of positive phototropism, that is, the tendency of plants to grow or turn toward light.\n\nBananas probably do something similar and I presume the direction is usually towards the equator.

Trees are phototrophs, they produce their own food by using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

A tree grows by photosynthesis: it combines carbon dioxide from the air with water, which it takes in through its roots, to produce glucose, which is converted into starch to be stored in the leaves. Minerals are also taken in through the roots which combine with glucose to produce amino acids, proteins and other stuffs that the tree needs e.g. phosphorus for DNA in the cell nucleus.\n\nThe equation for photosynthesis is:\n\n6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2\n\nWith research you should be able to find other equations for processes going on inside the tree.\n\nI have not described the first stages of the tree's life, i.e. germination. The increase in mass here is due to the uptake of water.

A tree becomes "petrified" through fossilization.  First, a tree that falls over must be subsequently buried by sediments (mud, sand, landslide, etc.) before decomposition occurs.  \n  After burial, the pressure of overlying sediments spurs ion substitution, which removes the carbon "life-like" compounds of the tree material and replace them with "rock-like" compounds, usually with alot of silica, calcium, potassium, or iron-rich compounds.  \n  Next, erosion must wear the parent rock or matrix so that people like you and I can find the petrified wood.

Sorry that was wrong\n\nGeneral Sherman is the name of a Giant Sequoia. It is the largest tree in the world, and generally considered the largest organism, as measured by the volume of its trunk (1487 cubic metres as of 2002). It is approximately 2,200 years old. The tree is located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States.\n\nIt was named after General William Tecumseh Sherman, American Civil War leader, by naturalist James Wolverton in 1879. Wolverton had served as a Lieutenant in the 9th Indiana Cavalry under Sherman. Additionally, the utopian socialist community Kaweah Colony, who settled nearby in the 1880s, named it after Karl Marx [1]. The tree was identified as the largest in a 1931 dispute with the nearby General Grant tree, after which wood volume was the widely accepted determining factor [2].\n\nIn January of 2006 the largest branch on the tree, seen most commonly in older photos as an "L" or "golf club" shape protruding from about 1/4th down the trunk, broke off. No one was present for the incident, but the branch, which had a diameter of over 2 m (6 feet) and a length of over 30 m (100 feet), bigger than most trees, smashed part of the enclosing fence and cratered the walkway pavement surrounding the sequoia. This is not believed to be indicative of any abnormalities with General Sherman's health, and may even be a natural defense mechanism against adverse weather conditions [3]. Also the branch loss does not change the tree's status as the largest tree, as that honor was bestowed based on crude measurements of trunk volume, excluding branches.\n\nStatistics\n Meters Feet \nHeight above base 83.8 274.9 \nCircumference at ground 31.1 102.6 \nMaximum diameter at base 11.1 36.5 \nDiameter 1.5 m above base 8.25 27.0 \nDiameter 18 m (60') above base 5.3 17.5 \nDiameter 55 m (180') above base 4.3 14.0 \nDiameter of largest branch 2.1 6.8 \nHeight of first large branch above the base 39.6 130.0 \nAverage crown spread 32.5 106.5
