Why do unicellular organisms live mainly in watery environments?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
4 0
Unicellular organisms are devoid of circulatory systems and will be found living in moist or watery environments to facilitate uptake of nutrients and gases and expulsion of waste by the process of diffusion. Their cell is structured such that it can engage in direct exchange of substances with its environment. Water serves as the perfect medium or environment through which this exchange can occur. Gases and nutrients simply diffuse into the cell or are moved into the cell by means of active transport or phagocytosis.

Which of these is least likely to be an adaptation of an organism to its environment?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "C. Cave fish have evolved degenerated eyes because they have no use for vision in dark, underwater caves."

Explanation:

All of these statements about organism adaptation to its environment are true, but the real reason why cave-fish are blind is not because there's no use for their eyes in the dark, but because being blind saves them energy, as using one's vision requires the activity of photoreceptive cells and neurons, and underground caves are lacking in both food and oxygen.
