Trees that lose all of their leaves for part of the year are known as deciduous trees. Those that don't are called evergreen trees.

Thermoset, or thermosetting, plastics are synthetic materials that strengthen during being heated, but cannot be successfully remouldedor reheated after their initial heat-forming. This contrasts withthermoplastics, which soften when heated and harden and strengthen after cooling. Thermoplastics can be heated, shaped and cooled as often as necessary without causing a chemical change, while thermosetting plastics will burn when heated after the initial moulding.

The nutrient which provides the maximum energy is Fat. It provides the energy of 9 calories/gram.

Plant cell walls are mostly made up of the molecule cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a complex sugar made of long chains of glucose.
