How do trees in crowded forest survive?
They try to survive by trying to get as much sunlight and water as possible
Where does the growth in a tree occur?
Trees grow by producing new cells in a very limited number of places. These places of cell division are called meristems. Meristems are zones of intense activity. They are where all new cells are formed and where they expand.
Trees grow in height as a result of meristems that are located at their branch tips. These meristems are called apical meristems. Roots also expand through the soil by growing at their tips as a result of apical meristems. All buds that you see on a tree contain apical meristems. Trunk diameter growth occurs as a result of another meristem already mentioned called the vascular cambium. The vascular cambium produces new xylem and phloem each year and as a result the trunk, branches and roots continue to increase in diameter.

What does an animal's environment contain?
A animal environment contains the food, so weather it needs grass, plants or meat like fish or small animals-water does it need to live in water or just to drink and shelter because every animal needs a place to sleep, eat, drink and be safe.
Each animal demands a different environment and each animal has its own way of adjusting to its environment, but the basics are: food, water, suitable weather and a place to rest. For example, the camel: it has long legs to help it walk in the desert, its body is huge to scare away its enemies, its has heavy eyelashes so that the sand won't hurt its eyes while traveling in the desert, camels can store food in their bodies so they can survive days without food or water, and camels have a very strong memory, so the next time you think about hurting a camel, be aware it could recognize you after 10 years and get its revenge.
