Answers
Answer:
Advantages ::
1. They have the ability to perform complicated physiological functions. Eg. Faster movement enhances efficiency and therefore adaptability to their environment.
2. Ability to capture smaller organisms for food.
3. They have the ability to adapt to harsh conditions
4. Ability to conserve energy due to complex organs that can save energy.
5. Efficient transport of substances in the body. For eg, the circulatory system can transport blood in the body without interfering with other systems.
6. Division of level helps the body to live longer.
DISADVANTAGES ::
1. All plants must be kept functioning together in co-ordinated manner.
2. Complexity give rise to bigger size of higher organism which in turn lead to requirement of more space energy and environmental resources than single cell organisms.
3. There is increase metabolic rate which consumes more food.
4. It is costly to maintain a complex organism.
5. There is room for competition for survival.
6. complex organisms take more time to reproduce the younger ones.
