### process:

Metamorphosis
* Greek word that means to transform.
* Metamorphoses is one.
* Most metamorphosis has life stages
  - occurs in amphibians
* Some metamorphosis involves destruction.
* allows an arthropod to be two or more different animals.
* also happens in animals other than insects.
* big word that means changing from one form into another.
* can happen to igneous rocks as well
  - only evolve in relation to direct development
* change in form from one stage to the next of an organism.
* consists of developmental phases
* continues from prepupa to pupa to adult.
* describes the changes that the majority of insects go through during their life cycle.
* developmental process that leads to dramatic changes in shape and form.
* disease that rabbits catch.
* female figure enveloped with tracery that suggests a cocoon.
* involves a complete change in appearance in an organisms development
  - major reorganization of the immune system as well as other organ systems
  - modification
* is an important technique in film animation
  - on-line game to determine type
  - between gradual and complete
  - books
  - complete, the life stages being the egg, larvae, pupa, and adult
  - controlled by steroid hormones, which alter gene expression in target cells
  - development by radical change
  - directed by a single steroid hormone called ecdysone
  - especially common in insects
  - gradual, the life stages being the egg, nymph, and adult
  - incomplete, the life stages being the egg, naiad, and adults
  - probably the most exciting time in the process of raising young newts
  - rapid and they have a well-developed capacity to retain water
  - simple with three stages of development
* is the change that occurs during the organism's development from egg to adult
  - changing of one object into another
  - drastic change that occurs in a butterfly's appearance and habits
  - name of a well-known magic illusion
* is the process by which an organism grows from being an egg to becoming an adult
  - of changing stages from egg to adult in insects
* is the process that signifies the end of the larval stage
  - the insects undergo to change from egg to adult
  - scientific word for change
  - transformation from an egg into an adult
  - typically radical and occurs during settlement onto the benthos
* keeps life stages from competing directly with each other.
* key element in Greek mythology.
* marked or abrupt change in form or structure.
* means a change from one form to another during the life of an animal or plant
  - in the body form of an organism
* normally occurs in the early fall.
* occurs and in a matter of days the adult fly emerges
  - when the fish assumes the general features of the juvenile
  - within weeks
* powerful process that can alleviate further stress on the planet and in the home.
* process some animals go through to become adults.
* starts to change the larva into an adult insect
  - take place as the final instar matures
* takes over five months and the froglets come out really small
  - place during a dormant stage called the pupa
* takes place during the pupal stage
  - summer months
  - within days or weeks, depending on species and temperature
  - shapes, forms, and identity
* way of reeducating the subconscious mind.

### process | metamorphosis:

Complete metamorphosis
* begins when adults lay eggs from which larvae hatch.
* evolves in insects.
* gives insects a significant survival advantage.
* has stages.
* is development from egg to larva to pupa to adult.

Gradual metamorphosis
* has stages.
* is development from egg to nymph to adult.

Incomplete metamorphosis
* Most incomplete metamorphosis has life stages.
* is typical of many insects
  - when the nymph or baby insect is merely a smaller version of the adult
* takes place with nymphs hatching in about four months.
