As we move up in scale from atoms, to molecules, all the way to organ systems and the organism, what emergent properties arise at each progressively larger level?arrow_forward
- . Structure and function is a central theme to the study of biology. Each major group of organisms has evolved its own body part “tool kit" – a collection of structures that have evolved in ways that make specific functions possible. From capturing food to digesting it, and from reproducing to breathing, organisms use structures that have evolved into different forms as species have adapted to life in different environments. The structure of wings, for example enable birds and insects to fly. The structures of legs enable horses to gallop and kangaroos to hop. a. Think about your own teeth. What kinds of foods do you think human teeth are suited for? b. List at least three ways the structure of human teeth serves the function of eating these food materials. c. Now, finally apply the theme of structure and function to something you're very familiar with - your hands. List out all the ways you can think of that the structure of your hands serve the function of your hands.arrow_forwardWhy is life difficult to define?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best distinguisheshypotheses from theories in science?(A) Theories are hypotheses that have been proved.(B) Hypotheses are guesses; theories are correct answers.(C) Hypotheses usually are relatively narrow in scope; theorieshave broad explanatory power.(D) Theories are proved true; hypotheses are often contradictedby experimental results.arrow_forward
