Advantages and Disadvantages of Single-celled and Multi-celled Organisms

What is a primary advantage of single-celled organisms in terms of reproduction?

• They reproduce very slowly.

• They can reproduce very quickly.

• They require a partner to reproduce.

• They can reproduce through complex processes.

Why are single-celled organisms able to adapt quickly to different environments?

• They have a complex nervous system.

• They reproduce rapidly, allowing for quick mutations and adaptations.

• They can survive without water.

• They have a large number of specialized cells.

What is a key feature of multi-celled organisms that allows them to perform complex tasks?

• They have specialized cells for different functions.

• They have a single type of cell.

• Their cells are not specialized.

• They reproduce faster than single-celled organisms.

How does the size of multi-celled organisms benefit them?

• It makes them harder to kill and reduces the number of predators.

• It limits their ability to adapt to environments.

• It makes them more vulnerable to predators.

• It allows them to reproduce faster.
