Which statement gives an advantage of multicellular organisms?

Spectrum:

What are the choices?

jasmineharris2008:

All of the cells are the same. One cell performs all of the necessary functions. They can reproduce quickly. They can grow large.

Spectrum:

Multicellular means multiple, and different. So we can cross out the first one.

jasmineharris2008:

thx

Spectrum:

and we wouldnt need multiple cells if only one could do all the jobs, so cross that one out.

Spectrum:

jasmineharris2008:

maybe the first one but dont know

If you can do more than one thing, is that a good or bad thing?

jasmineharris2008:

good

Spectrum:

good, cross that one out.

Spectrum:

Now think about option B like making cupcakes, if you have to make 24 cupcakes in 1 hour and you make them all in 30 minutes is that a good or bad thing?

jasmineharris2008:

good

Spectrum:

Correct, now cross option B out.

jasmineharris2008:
