What is meant by the whole of a person is greater than and different from the sum of the parts

Oooh. This is a good question. Reminds me of Garnet from Steven Universe. "When two Gems combine, it creates something <span>greater than the sum of their parts."

Steven Universe may be a cartoon but the themes and lessons are honest and true, so! Going off of the two identical phrases, once can infer that the reason a person is greater and different than the sum of their parts is because each individual part compliments the other or makes it stronger. It's the importance of the "connection" between each part that makes the whole greater.

The easiest way to explain it would be with the word "synergy"; t</span><span>he interaction of elements that when combined produce a </span>total<span> effect that is </span>greater than<span> the </span>sum<span> of the individual elements.

Hopefully this helps!</span>

Do you think using marijuana can lead to harder drug use? Why or why not?
hram777 [196]
I think it can. You're becoming more addicted the more marijuana you use; eventually you'll want to move on to something more powerful once you get used to the effects of the drug.
Hope this helps!

According to the sliding filament theory, how does muscle contraction occur?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

myosin heads form cross bridges and pull thin filaments causing them to slide.

the presence of acetocholene causes calcium to be released causing depolarization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and changing its shape. the myofilaments together with actin allows the myosin to form cross bridges along the muscle fibers and releases ATP for movement of the muscle.
