Do you habitually pee up one side of him, thus supplying his roots with passive alcohol?BG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18025972482224907021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-78274974825475032782008-07-07T20:57:00.000+01:002008-07-07T20:57:00.000+01:00Gobsmacking!Cheers Stef!Gobsmacking!<BR/><BR/>Cheers Stef!Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-58556019127109565152008-07-07T20:47:00.000+01:002008-07-07T20:47:00.000+01:00Here you go:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree#Morp...Here you go:<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree#Morphology<BR/><BR/>TTFN<BR/><BR/>BGBG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18025972482224907021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-8010034598833232442008-07-07T20:44:00.000+01:002008-07-07T20:44:00.000+01:00So where did that 30% come from?

Gaseous CO2 gets processed into all sorts of solid carbon compounds, typically cellulose (C6H10O5)n, hemicellulose (a polysaccharide related to cellulose) and lignin (a large, cross-linked, racemic macromolecule). Very little of a tree is taken from the ground.<BR/><BR/>Amazing, really.BG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18025972482224907021noreply@blogger.com
