Which of the following is an advantage of multicellularity?
A
Increased surface area for nutrient absorption
B
Decreased need for specialized cells
C
Simplified cellular processes
D
Reduced energy requirements
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of multicellularity: Multicellularity refers to organisms that consist of more than one cell, allowing for specialization and division of labor among different cell types.
Consider the advantages of multicellularity: Multicellular organisms can develop specialized cells and tissues that perform specific functions, enhancing efficiency and survival.
Evaluate the options given: Increased surface area for nutrient absorption, decreased need for specialized cells, simplified cellular processes, and reduced energy requirements.
Analyze the option 'Increased surface area for nutrient absorption': Multicellular organisms often have structures like villi or root hairs that increase surface area, facilitating more efficient nutrient absorption.
Conclude which option aligns with the advantages of multicellularity: Increased surface area for nutrient absorption is a key advantage, as it allows multicellular organisms to absorb nutrients more effectively than single-celled organisms.
