Question

cells contain specialized parts, known as organelles, to perform specific tasks, such as waste disposal, protein building, and movement. even though these basic cellular functions occur in all cells,
o a. the cells in unicellular organisms and all the cells in multicellular organisms must perform the same functions.
o b. all cells do not perform the same exact functions in multicellular organisms.
o c. the cellular components are not at all related to the overall function of the cell.
o d. all cells do not perform the same exact functions in unicellular organisms.

Explanation:

• Unicellular organisms have one cell that performs all life - sustaining functions. Multicellular organisms have cells specialized for different tasks. But basic cellular functions (like waste disposal, protein building, etc.) occur in all cells.
• Option A is wrong because cells in multicellular organisms have different functions.
• Option B is wrong as cells in multicellular organisms have specialized functions.
• Option C is wrong because cellular components are related to the cell's function.

Answer:

D. all cells do not perform the same exact functions in unicellular organisms.
