So this question comes from chapter one, question number two of campbell's biology book.
00:08
So the question is systems biology is mainly attempt to analyze genomes from different species, simplify complex problems by reducing the system into smaller, less complex units, understand the behavior of entire biological systems by studying interactions among its component parts, or build high throughput machines for the rapid acquisition of biological data.
00:30
So here, the tricky thing is that all of these things do have to do with systems biology, but not all of them are a perfect descriptor for systems biology that encapsures the entirety of the essence of systems biology.
00:49
So systems biology is using a reductionist approach towards biology.
00:54
So b is the strategy behind reductionism.
00:58
So simplifying complex problems by reducing the system into smaller, less complex units.
01:04
However, b does not take into account biology whatsoever.
01:09
This is simply reductionism.
01:11
C actually takes into account biology...
