Life is often said to exhibit emergent properties—properties that a system has that the components of the system do not. Water molecules, for example, exhibit several emergent properties that couldn’t be predicted from their atomic composition (solvency, heat of vaporization, surface tension).
Choose an organism, and identify two examples of emergent properties found at one level of organization within that organism that are not found at the previous level. Explain why these properties are essential for life in this organism and how they maintain homeostasis.
Mono lake is a a soda lake (highly alkaline- pH 10) formed some 700,000 years ago. In your research, you have discovered a novel organism that is about 5x2 um in size. It is an aquatic organism, that appears to thrive in low oxygen tensions and in alkaline conditions, and appear to be chemotactic . It was found in the deeper regions of the lake with higher salinity and no oxygen. You are attempting to classify the organism as a Bacteria, Archaea or Eukarya. For each of these domains, list five (5)characteristics or structures that would allow you to classify the organism as belonging the domains. This is, for each domain, list 5 distinct characteristics or distinct structures that would place the organism in that domain. Be thoughtful, specific and detailed in your answer (by detail, I am referring to the level of detail in the text -- for example, if you believe your organism has flagella, what flagella composition/structure/movement would classify it as Archaea vs Eukarya vs…

- The pelagic zone of the ocean is the area of the ocean that is neither close to the bottom nor close to land. There are a wide variety of organisms that inhabit the pelagic zone. Phytoplankton float along the surface, using photosynthesis to produce food. Zooplankton are tiny organisms that float in the surface waters and feed on the abundant phytoplankton. Krill, small crustaceans, also feed on phytoplankton. They display vertical migration in which they swim at deeper depths during the day and then come up to the surface waters at night to eat. What is the relationship between zooplankton and krill? a) Symbiosis b) Competition c) Parasitism d) Commensalism e) Mutualismarrow_forwardA(n) [Select ] 7 organism can maintain a constant temperature using its metabolic heat while a(n) v [ Select ] Forganism will use environmental temperatures to do so. heterothermic ectothermic homeothermic endothermicarrow_forwardThe number and kind of organisms are not constant.

- Some people have proposed trying to artificially change the chemistry of seawater to make it more alkaline. What problem are they trying to address? Most organisms survive well in a highly alkaline environment, so changing the ocean's chemistry would increase our food supply. Coral reefs require an alkaline environment or they lose their zooxanthellae and become white. The ocean needs to be more alkaline so that the coral reefs can dissolve naturally to repeat the cycle of breakdown and renewal. The ocean has become increasingly acidified as it takes up CO2, harming living organisms such as coral reefs. There are too many fish in the ocean and making it more alkaline would make the numbers more manageable.arrow_forwardBefore we finish this part of the Activity, you’re going to begin summarizing what you’ve learned using a graphic organizer.
