The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that colonial organism consists of individual one-celled organisms that can, if separated, survive on their own. On the other hand, cells from a multicellular life-form cannot live independently (they are all connected to function together).

Volvox is not considered multicellular because its cells are not aggregated into organized tissues and have no organ and organ systems.

The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that individual organisms from a colony can, if separated, survive on their own, while cells from a multicellular lifeform (e.g., cells from a brain) cannot.

Volvox is indeed multicellular because they are a bunch of unicells forming colonies. But they did not give rise to land plants. Another group called the charophytes did! They are green algae, multicellular and possessing some similarities to land plants. For example, they have sporopollenin on their walls.

Rzqust [24]

The answer would be B:The data suggests that exercise increases the rate of cellular respiration because more carbon dioxide was produced.


The data has a consistently show that the time needed to change BTB color in after exercise group is much shorter(less than half) compared to before exercise group. If the time needed longer, this show that the amount carbon dioxide removed from the lungs is much higher. The reaction that provide energy for the muscle will produce carbon dioxide as side product in cellular respiration.
