What is an advantage of multicellular organisms? They are able to move around freely. Their cells are all alike. They have different cells for different tasks. They can live in extreme environments.
A - Even unicellular cells can move freely, such as euglena. They have a flagellum that helps them 'swim' through a fluid. B - Not necessarily; are your skin cells and liver cells alike? C - Compartmentalization is where various cells undertake different tasks to contribute to the full organism. You, as a human, are multicellular. Your cells are compartmentalized, where your endocrine cells perform some activities different from your kidney cells. D - There is a type of bacteria called thermophiles that can live in extremely hot conditions, for instance. What do you think?
