Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 13IMT
For each statement, identify which major theme is evident (the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological systems, or evolution) and explain how the statement relates to the theme. If necessary, review the theme descriptions (see Chapter 1) and review the examples highlighted in blue in this chapter.
