Title: Emergent properties and cell differentiation
Description: These notes describe the 3 different forms of cell differentiation as well as the emergent properties that arise when a group of cells interact with each other. Grade: A Levels and IB Diploma Programme

Living cells displaying
emerging properties
What is an emerging property?
The property in which living organisms become more and more complex
...
The core concept is that the whole system working together is greater in
functionality than the composition of its parts
...
However, when these different parts interact with each other, certain
properties emerge and therefore these parts are able to function
...
But the heart cells alone won’t be able to do anything useful for the body
...
However, as a whole, with all the different cells working together, the organ
is able to pump blood around the body
...
However, the separate macromolecules that make up this bacterium is not
considered alive and can not function as a living organism
...
In living organisms, these macromolecules are involved in chemical reactions
which can perform all the different characteristics of living organisms
...
At a cellular level, this allele can code for the protein hexokinase
...
These cells can then be organised into tissues such as skeletal muscle, which
is used to allow movement in an organism
...
What is cell differentiation?
This is the process in which a cell changes its cell type from one to another
...
This is most commonly seen when a zygote changes from a simple ball of cells
to a complex network of tissues and multiple cell types
...
Different types of cells are produced in our bodies due to the fact that
different genes are activated in the different cells
...
Examples of cell differentiation
Stem cells are special kinds of cells because they can divide and renew
themselves for long periods and they are unspecialised thus they can
reproduce any kind of specialised cell
...
In the body, adult stem cells can divide and create daughter cells for
tissue repair and normal cell turnover
