Chapter 3, Problem 15WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for considering life as an emergent property at the cellular level.
Introduction:
The new functions which arise from the interaction between different components of the system are known as emergent properties. It helps in explaining the relation between and function and structural organization. Any change in structure would affect the function as well.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization Consideringsome of the characteristics that define life and drawing on yourknowledge of cellular structures and functions, write a short essay(100–150 words) that discusses this statement: Life is an emergentproperty that appears at the level of the cell. (See Concept 1.1.)
Describe what it means to say that a cell is
life's functional
unit
A cell is characterized by the presence of a nucleus, many green organelles,
a large water-filled vacuole, and a rigid cell wall. Therefore, it is an
