Evolution MAJOR THEMES OF BIOLOGY 1. Structure is related to function. ex. waterproofing on organisms is made of lipids which are non-polar. ex. structures which absorb light are flat and thin to maximize surface area with the least amount of material 2. New properties emerge at each level of organization. Small changes in molecules can result in an enormous
