There are trillions of cells EVERYWHERE including blood cells, brain cells, and even skin cells !! I believe that multicellular organisms that are large need to have trillions of cells to be able to fill their whole body. For example , humans, Humans have one of the most complex cells, we humans are very big so thousands of cells would not be enough to contain our entire body. Even the word ' multicellular' meaning multiple cells gives people a hint that we are multicellular . In conclusion , trillions of cells are needed for multicellular organisms , without them we wouldn't be able to function properly.

Answer:

The activity that does not represent a beneficial contribution made by biologists is to improve the durability of non-stick coatings (option C).

The development and improvement of non-stick coatings does not correspond to an activity within the field of biology. Anti-stick coatings, such as Teflon, are products developed through industrial activity.

Biologists' activity is focused on living organisms and their interaction with the surrounding environment. Improving arable soils and food quality, as well as increasing life expectancy are activities that fall within the field of study of biology and its related disciplines.
