Concept explainers
Which of the following is not a core concept of biology, as advocated by “Vision and Change”?
- a. Evolution
- b. Information flow, exchange, and storage
- c. Structure and function
- d. Taxonomy
- e. Pathways and transformation of energy and matter

Introduction: A conference was held by “The American Association for the Advancement of Science”. This conference was known as “Vision and change”. The aim of this conference was to enhance education in the field of biology. This resulted in the reorganization of essential biological theories.
Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer: Taxonomy is not a core concept of biology, as advocated by “Vision and Change”. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
The conference named “Vision and Change” includes five major biological theories. These theories are regarded as the core concepts in the field of biology. These theories include:
- Evolution
- Structure and functions of living organisms.
- Information flow, storage, and exchange.
- Pathways that are required for energy and matter transfer
- Living systems
Taxonomy is not a core concept of biology according to “Vision and Change”.
Option d. is given as “Taxonomy”.
Taxonomy is not included in the five biological theories given by “Vision and Change”. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
Reasons for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “Evolution”.
Evolution is the process of the development of an organism from its forefather. According to “Vision and Change”, it is an important concept of biology. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “Information flow, exchange, and storage”.
Information flow, exchange, and storage are among the five concepts of biology. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “Structure and function”.
Structure and function are important in living organisms. Every organism has a unique structure and function that makes it different from the rest. “Vision and Change” has included structure and function among the five core concepts. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Option e. is given as, “Pathways and transformation of energy and matter”.
Pathways and transformation of energy and matter have been included in the concepts given by “Vision and Change”. Hence, option e. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., c., and e. are incorrect.
Therefore, taxonomy has not been included as a core concept in the field of biology by “Vision and Change”. This conference recognized only five processes as “the core concepts of biology”.

- Biology Questionarrow_forward✓ Details Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forwarddrawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked.
