Question

Which of the following is not a characteristic of multicellular organisms?

• A. The body is made up of many cells.
• B. Specialized functions are performed by different cells, tissues, organs or organ systems.
• C. Division of labor in the organism is at organelle level.
• D. They are eukaryotic in nature.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Division of labor in the organism is at organelle level.

Multicellular organisms are eukaryotic and made up of many cells. In these multicellular organisms, specialized functions are performed by different cells, tissues, organs or organ systems. Unicellular organisms are made up of a single cell and the division of labour is at the organelle level. So all the activities of the cell are performed by a single cell in unicellular organisms.
