Define emergent property in reference to the levels of organization of living organisms

Biology
1 answer:
laila [671]3 years ago
5 0
An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not have. A failure to realize that a property is emergent, or supervenient, leads to the fallacy of division.

<span>In chemistry, for example, the taste of saltiness is a property of salt, but that does not mean that it is also a property of sodium and chlorine, the two elements which make up salt. Thus, saltiness is an emergent or a supervenient property of salt. Claiming that chlorine must be salty because salt is salty would be an example of the fallacy of division. </span>

<span>In biology, for example, heart is made of heart cells, heart cells on their own don't have the property of pumping blood. You will need the whole heart to be able to pump blood. Thus, the pumping property of the heart is an emergent or a supervenient property of the heart. Claiming that an individual heart cell can pump blood because the heart can would be an example of fallacy of division.</span>

henke vg, bateman bt, leffert lr. focused review: spinal anesthesia in severe pre-eclampsia. anesth analg. 2013 sep;117(3):686-9
stira [4]

A form of neuraxial anesthesia known as spinal anesthesia involves injecting local anesthetic (LA) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the lumbar spine in order to numb the nerves that leave the spinal cord.

<h3>What does the study indicate?</h3>
  • As long as there is no indwelling epidural catheter or neuraxial anesthesia contraindication, spinal anesthesia is generally regarded as a reasonable anesthetic choice for cesarean delivery in severe preeclampsia.
  • Those with severe preeclampsia experience spinal-induced hypotension less frequently and with less severity than healthy parturients.
  • Although spinal anesthetic may result in more hypotension than epidural anesthesia in cases of severe preeclampsia, this hypotension is often manageable, transient, and unrelated to clinically meaningful differences in outcomes.

Explain how the terms atom, compounds, element, and molecules all relate to one another
Alex777 [14]
For starters, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter- they make up elements, molecules and compounds. Elements most often combine with other elements as compounds. Whilst molecules are particles found in both elements and compounds. I hope that wasn't too confusing, but bottom line is that they are all linked together in this way! Helpful? :)

What are some ways in which the structure of a compound influences its function?
Art [367]
 structure of a compound influences its function in many ways like we take example of phospholipid bilayer  1. The fact that the tails are hydrophobic means that they do not interact with water. When a bunch of phospholipids are floating around in water, they try to arrange themselves in a bilayer that shields the hydrophobic parts from water-based, or aqueous, surroundings.

2. The heads are hydrophilic and can then interact with water and other polar or charged substances on either side of the bilayer. The bilayer acts as a barrier that allows cells to maintain internal conditions that are different from external conditions, which is monumentally important for cells to operate properly. 

3. Phospholipids demonstrate the intersection of structure and function in another way, too. We already know that fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated and that unsaturated fatty acids have bends in their chains. Those bends prevent fatty acids from packing close.
