Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a multicellular organism, all the cells perform the same functions.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most multicellular organisms consist of many different types of cells that do different functions. For example, most animals have blood cells, nerve cells, and muscle cells. The cells are specialized means that specific cells perform specific functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a multicellular organism all the cells do not have the ability to perform all the bodily functions. Different cells in multicellular organisms have different functions to perform.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells of various types have different functions because cell structure and function are closely related. It is apparent that a cell that is very thin is not well suited for a protective function. Bone cells do not have an appropriate structure for nerve impulse conduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A multicellular organism is an organism that consists of more than one cell, in contrast to unicellular organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -The multicellular organisms are developed by cellular specialization and division of labour. Cells become efficient in a single process and become dependent on other cells to carry out various processes. All the cells work in coordination for the proper functioning of an organism.
