⩥ Themes of biology. Answer: organization, information, energy and
matter, interactions, evolution
⩥ Reductionism. Answer: the reduction of complex systems to simpler
components that are more manageable to study
⩥ emergent properties. Answer: New properties that arise with each step
upward in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and
