Not just in biology! From the dictionary: Emergent properties-arising and existing only as a phenomenon of independent parts working together, and not predictable on the basis of their properties.n example in Biology is the assembly of amino acids into a protein: an amino acid, by itself, cannot perform the functions of an enzyme, but if you put the right ones together in the correct order, they become an enzyme.
When populations of different species interact, communities form. Many emergent properties are the result of interactions between species in communities. For instance, a cowâs ability to digest grass depends on bacteria living in the cowâs stomach! As communities interact with the physical environment, ecosystems form. Together, the ecosystems on planet Earth form a biosphere.
