Emergent Properties
Ans: a property that a complex system has but the individual
members of the system do not.
example: saltiness, because NaCl is salty not Na or Cl.
-all aspects of life contain emergent properties.
Viruses
Ans: cellular nonliving structures that require a living cell to
reproduce (obligate parasites).
single celled, has an outer capsid that protects nucleic acid core
(RNA) , and requires a host cell to reproduce. have the ability to
reproduce, adapt, are organized, respond to stimuli, and
acquire energy and materials.
