Question
Multicellular organisms have division of labour. Explain.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- The diversification of certain components or pieces to conduct separate duties for better efficiency and a higher survival rate is known as division of labour.
- Millions of cells are frequently found in multicellular organisms. Different cells, each specialised to carry out a certain function, are grouped together to form a particular tissue, organ, or organ system.
- A multicellular organism's cells cannot receive sustenance from the outside world.
- The organism needs a mechanism for acquiring, breaking, and distributing food. Digestive and transportation systems are also necessary.
- Reproduction is taken up by specific cells in the body. Others assist in replacing or repairing damaged or worn-out sections.
- An interior, favourable environment is also necessary for a multicellular organism's cells to function at their best. As a result, multicellular organisms develop a division of labour.
