Which of the following is a core concept of biology of importance in the study of ecology? Check all
that apply.
Structure and function: Basic units of structures define the function of all living things.
Information flow, exchange, and storage: The growth and behavior of organisms are activated
through the expression of genetic information.
Evolution: The diversity of life evolved over time by processes of mutation, natural selection, and
genetic exchange.
Scientific thinking: science generates knowledge of the natural world.
Systems: Living systems are interconnected and interacting
