Question

can you identify the major theme illustrated by each of the following examples? if necessary, you may review the themes in chapter 1 of your book. match the themes on the left with the examples on the right. not all themes will be used. pathways that transform energy and matter atp energizes other molecules in cells by transfering phosphate groups to those molecules. relationship of structure to function there is more oxygen gas in the air of our lungs than in the blood. therefore, oxygen moves by passive transport from the air into the bloodstream. information flow the region of an enzyme called the active site has the shape and chemistry that fits one specific substrate molecule. interactions within biological systems because all cells have a plasma membrane, it is logical to infer that membranes first developed in the earliest forms of life on earth. evolution

Explanation:

1. ATP transferring phosphate groups is an energy - transformation process, so it matches "Pathways that transform energy and matter".
2. Oxygen moving from an area of higher concentration (lungs) to lower concentration (blood) by passive transport is an interaction within the respiratory and circulatory biological systems, so it matches "Interactions within biological systems".
3. The active site of an enzyme having a specific shape and chemistry for a substrate is an example of the relationship between structure and function in enzymes, so it matches "Relationship of structure to function".
4. Inferring the development of membranes in early life forms based on all cells having a plasma membrane is related to the concept of evolution, so it matches "Evolution".

Answer:

1. Pathways that transform energy and matter
2. Interactions within biological systems
3. Relationship of structure to function
4. Evolution
