complexity of biological systems

What Makes Biological Systems Complex?

Biological systems are characterized by their intricate network of interactions among various biomolecules, cells, and tissues. This complexity arises from several factors:
- Multiscale Organization: Biological systems operate at multiple scales, from the molecular level (DNA, proteins) to the cellular and organismal levels.
- Dynamic Interactions: The interactions within these systems are highly dynamic, involving feedback mechanisms and regulatory pathways.
- Diversity of Components: Thousands of different molecules, including metabolites, lipids, and nucleic acids, interact in specific yet often unpredictable ways.
