Question

Which one is an advantage of a multicellular organism?

Answer 1

What are the options

Answer 2

Multicellular organisms are able to complete much more complicated tasks and are much more efficient at completing the simpler tasks. Each part of the multicellular organism is specifically designed to perform a specific task ~ and they are usually good at it.

All the parts come together and work as a whole to be greater than the some of the parts. None of this exists in a single-celled organism.

The single-celled prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells lacked the specialization and organization we see in many plants and animals today. Single-celled organisms need to perform every life function within the confines of a single cell.

Multicellular organisms, like ourselves, however, can have cells specialized for a particular function. Thus, a liver cell doesn't have to "worry" about all the chemical reactions and interactions with other cells that a retinal cell in the back of your eye has to worry about. The liver cell can specialize and be very good at its job. Likewise, the cells in your eye and making up the rest of the organ systems in your body can specialize and be very good at what they do. This specialization allows for more efficiency.

Multicellular organisms are unable to reproduce as frequently as unicellular ones, such as bacteria. We have compensated by producing fewer offspring, but ensuring that they are good quality
