Biology's Fact

1.The world's tallest living tree to date is the Mendocino Tree (Sequoia sempervirens), which is 367 feet and 6 inches tall (112.014 meters), located at the Montgomery Woods State Reserve, in California, U.S.A. It has a diameter of 10.3 feet, or 3.139 meters.



2.One molecule of sucrose is actually one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose bonded together (covalently linked). So one glucose and one fructose combined makes one sucrose.




3.The world's oldest living plant is estimated to be the Tasmanian king's holly, Loamtia tasmanica, a member of the Proteaceae family, which has survived for about 43,600 years.
