Question Bank Knowledge 2.4

The document contains multiple-choice, short answer, and long answer questions focused on emergent properties in biology, the functions of various organelles, and the cooperation between biological systems. Key topics include the role of mitochondria in energy production, the significance of peristalsis in digestion, and the interaction between the digestive and circulatory systems. It also emphasizes the concept of emergent properties as new abilities that arise at more complex levels of biological organization.
