Question

In a multicellular organism, all cells have the capability to perform all life functions. Do you agree? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Multicellular organisms are composed of large number of cells and every cell is destined for a specific function. For example, a Red Blood Cell (RBC) can transport oxygen across the body, but it can not perform the functions of a nerve cell. Thus, in case of multicellular organisms, all cells do not have the capability of performing all life functions.
