Why don't single celled orgainsms not have specific organs fir digestion and removal of waste processes?
Answers
single celled organisms surface area to volume ratio is optimum for diffusion/exchange of substances between the cell and its exterior and this rate of exchange suffices the requirement of a unicellular organism. However, in multicellular organisms the surface area to volume ratio is low, the exchange that takes place with the exterior or the environment occurs only through the body surface with the help of a specific structure/organ, example (Skin),However, this exchange does not compensate for millions of cells in a multicellular organism, which have distinct requirements based on their functions
hope it helps!
Hey stranger
Here is your answer

A single-celled organisms does not need specific organs for taking in food, exchange of gases or removal of wastes because the entire surface of the organism is in contact with the environment. Thus tha exchange of gases can take place by simple diffusion and there is no need of special organs.
