Document Summary
Reduces complex systems into its simpler components that are more manage. New properties that arise with each step upward in the hierarchy of life, owi arrangements and interactions of parts as complexity increases. Certain actions or properties require the organization of different molecules possible. For example a test-tube filled with chlorophyll and other chloroplas allow for photosynthesis to take place. It is required that the molecules in the organized in a specific way in order to accomplish the coordinated processes. Some of the things that are studied in reductionism lack a number of significan emerge at higher levels. In order to explore emergent properties more fully reductionism is complime biology, the exploration of a biological system by analyzing the interaction am. System biology allows us to see a certain organism as a whole and how it reac things thus producing questions. It can be used to study life at all levels. Single organism= leaf, frog, ant colony, desert ecosystem.
