Multicellular organisms have some advantages over single-celled organisms, but there are also disadvantages of being multicellua

r. Explain the disadvantages and give some examples to illustrate
Biology

ollegr [7]3 years ago
6 0
A disadvantage of being multi-cellular is how long it takes to reproduce. For single-celled organisms, it's sometimes as simple a splitting in two, but multi cellular organisms, like humans, have to wait 9 months until they see their child.

Another disadvantage is it take more energy to do things. Some bacteria have flagella that they move like a tail that drives them forward. Multi-cellular organisms have to intake calories that are burned when we move and we have to keep intaking them to perform tasks.

1. How do fossils form?
noname [10]

Explanation:

There is a LOOOONG process for this so here it is;  

First things first.The animal dies. Soft parts of the animal's body, including skin and muscles, start to rot away. Scavengers may come and eat some of the remains.  Before the body disappears completely, it is buried by sediment - usually mud, sand or silt. Often at this point only the bones and teeth remain.  Many more layers of sediment build up on top. This puts a lot of weight and pressure onto the layers below, squashing them. Eventually, they turn into sedimentary rock.  While this is happening, water seeps into the bones and teeth, turning them to stone as it leaves behind minerals.  This process can take thousands or even millions of years.

I hope this answer helped. Thank you!

Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to


Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.
