If you live to be 100 years old, how many sets of organs will you have during your lifetime? How many hearts, stomachs, and livers? If a plant lives to be 100 years old, how many sets of leaves will it probably have? If it begins blooming when it is 10 years old, how many sets of flowers? When you are 70 years old, you will still depend on your digestive system to supply you with energy for another 30 years, but how old is that set of organs? In a 70-year-old tree, how old are the cells of the leaves that supply it with energy?
