Question

why was having more than one cell an advantage for life that evolved to have more than one cell? by having more than one cell, the organism had an extra cell to detach when attacked by predators, like a lizard does with its tail. by having more than one cell, the life could keep itself company to avoid loneliness. by having more than one cell, the life could divide into a bunch of single cells to avoid predators, then reform as a multicellular organism when the danger passed. by having more than one cell, the organism could become a larger size than other organisms, making it harder to eat for smaller single - celled organisms and making it easier to eat smaller single - celled organisms.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Multicellular organisms can grow larger in size compared to single - celled ones. Larger size can be an advantage in the ecosystem as it can make the organism less vulnerable to being preyed upon by smaller single - celled organisms and also make it easier to prey on smaller single - celled organisms. The first option about detaching a cell is not a common or main advantage of multicellularity. Cells are not social entities to avoid loneliness as in the second option. The third option about dividing and reforming is not a typical characteristic of multicellular organisms in response to predation.

Answer:

By having more than one cell, the organism could become a larger size than other organisms, making it harder to eat for smaller single - celled organisms and making it easier to eat smaller single - celled organisms.
