Explanation:

Cell specialization is the differentiation of cells to perform very specific function. At the stage of cellular differentiation, the generic cells are transformed into very specialized cells.

Multicellular organisms have very complex body systems. They carry many different tasks. They have to move, find food, excrete, maintain balance within their body system and the environment etc.

  • To perform these tasks, cells must have specific functions because they would be in need of different materials to carryout the functions.

A unicellular organism performs very simple functions of life. They do not require complex biological processes to manufacture their food and carry out life activities.

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.
