Question
if a complex multicellular organism, like a human, were made of only one type of cell instead of many specialized types, what would be the most likely result? the organism would be much smaller than other humans. the organism would be able to live in more extreme environments. the organism would not be able to perform all the complex functions necessary for life. the organism would have to consume less food to survive.
Specialized cells in multicellular organisms like humans have specific functions (e.g., nerve cells transmit signals, muscle cells enable movement). If there was only one - type of cell, it couldn't perform all these diverse and complex functions. A single - type cell would lack the ability to carry out tasks such as digestion (by specialized digestive cells), respiration (by lung cells), and circulation (by blood cells and heart muscle cells).
