Solution
All living phenomena are due to underlying interactions. Properties of tissues are not present in the constituent cells. Similarly, the properties of cellular organelles are not present in the molecular constituents of the organelle but arise as a result of interactions among the molecular components comprising the organelle. These interactions result in emergent properties at a higher level of organization. This phenomenon is true in the hierarchy of organisational complexity at all levels.
