Why is the maintenance of homeostasis important to multicellular organisms?

• They must keep their internal environment within a narrow range of conditions.

• They require the ability to adjust their internal environment to match their external environment

• Their cells need to be able to respond rapidly to drastic changes in their external enviornment

• Their internal environment must provide their cells with a wide range of conditions
