- . 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_forwardGive two (2) recent studiesthat have used model organisms in understanding biological or processes.

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

- The Scientific Revolution, starting with Copernicus in the 15th century and ending with Newton in the early 18th century, would have profound impact as it heralded the birth of modern science and the scientific method. The result was important advances in the basic sciences as well as medicine itself in Europe during this period (15th through the 18th century) that would make possible the prevention and cure of diseases. Define the Scientific Method and discuss how it relates to advances in medicine ((hint: microscopy, anatomy, chemistry and the study of specific diseases).arrow_forwardGive any two (2) studies that have used model organisms in understanding biological or processes.
