explain what is meant by emergent properties when explaining how a beaker full of chemicals is different than an animal made of that same mix of chemicals

In biology, an emergent property is a property possessed by a collective and complex system of constituents, which is lacking in the individual component of the system

Emergent properties are therefore, an important aspect of biological system, for example, a beaker containing graphite (carbon) and ammonium ions in solution contains the same chemicals found in the human brain used to control movement and store memory whereas the chemicals in the beaker are idle.
