gas exchange

intake of nutrients

disposal of wastes

stimulus response

reproduction

How do these functions compare between single-celled and multi-celled organisms?

A. Single-celled organisms can perform all of these functions, while multi-celled organisms can perform only some of these functions.

B. Single-celled organisms must perform all of these functions with one cell, while multi-celled organisms can have specialized cells for different functions.

C. Single-celled organisms can perform only some of these functions, while multi-celled organisms can perform all of these functions.

D. Neither single-celled organisms nor multi-celled organisms can perform all of these necessary functions.

Option B, Single-celled organisms must perform all of these functions with one cell, while multi-celled organisms can have specialized cells for different functions.

Explanation:

All these functions are performed by both single celled and multi-cellular organism. A single cell has several microscopic organelles that performs specific functions while a multi - celled organism has different body organs/tissues to perform specialized function separately.

A cell exchange gas through the cellular membrane, intake nutrients through engulfing, dispose waste by lysosomes, stimulus response by sensory hairy structure and reproduction through cell division

Hence, option B is correct.

the cell cycle is the final answer! : )
