Lecture 1 Pre-Reading - Hierarchy of structural and functional
levels
The Hierarchy
The Biosphere → Ecosystems → Communities → Populations → Organisms → Organs
and Organ Systems → Tissues → Cells → Organelles → Molecules
Zooming in from the biosphere to molecules is called reductionism
Zooming out from molecules to the biosphere is called systems biology
Emergent properties show as we zoom out to see the complexity in the
interactions in systems biology
In each hierarchy, there is a correlation between structure and function
Properties associated with life
Metabolic processes
Respiration
Nutrition
Reproduction
Homeostasis
DNA, RNA and Proteins
Carbon-based
Growth
Element and Compound
Element: a substance that cannot be broken down by other substances in a
chemical reaction
Compound: a substance that consists of two or more elements combined in
a fixed ratio
A compound has different characteristics to those of the element it
contains
Of the 92 natural elements, only about 20-25% are essential elements than
an organism needs to survive
