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,

a. the cellular components are not at all related to the overall function of the cell.
b. all cells do not perform the same exact functions in unicellular organisms.
c. all cells do not perform the same exact functions in multicellular organisms.
d. the cells in unicellular organisms and all the cells in multicellular organisms must perform the same functions.

Explanation:

In multicellular organisms, cells differentiate to perform specialized functions. For example, nerve cells transmit signals and muscle cells enable movement. In unicellular organisms, a single - cell often has to perform all life - sustaining functions. Option A is incorrect as cellular components are crucial for cell function. Option B is not as accurate as C in terms of the key concept of cell differentiation in multicellular organisms. Option D is wrong because cells in unicellular and multicellular organisms have different functions.

Answer:

C. all cells do not perform the same exact functions in multicellular organisms.
