Question
Chapter 3, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why life is an emergent property that appears at the cellular stage.
Concept introduction:
The cell is the fundamental unit of life. It is also the smallest living being. A cell is made up of smaller particles. Thus, life (cell) is an emergent property of the smaller particles.

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

Which of the following structures is found in both plants and animals, and is correctly paired with its function?
nucleus- generates ATP
ribosomes- formation of proteins
large central vacuole-water storage
O cell wall- movement of substances in and out of the cell
