S05E06 Life Cycles
"Look how much you've grown!" is a familiar phrase from your Auntie, and while it might seem ordinary, growth is an essential part of life. This concept is tied to the life cycles that begin at birth. Life cycles encompass the various stages of existence, not just for humans but for all living beings. You may think you share little in common with a desert cactus, a fish in the ocean, or mold in your gym shoe, yet all living things experience birth, growth, reproduction, aging, and ultimately, death.
