Question

Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the need of multicellular organism like humans?

Answer 1

Answer:

multicellular organisms such as man, the volume of the human body is big and hence, oxygen cannot diffuse into all the cells of the human body quickly. ... Hence, diffusion is insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multicellular organisms like humans

Answer 2

In multicellular organisms like human beings diffusion is insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of the body because of the following reasons :

• Diffusion is a very very slow process. Thus it can't fulfil the requirements of our body.

• The oxygen in human beings will have to travel last distances inside our body to reach each and every part of the cells.

• The volume of human body is so big that oxygen cannot diffuse into all the internal cells of the human body quickly.

• Also this is the reason for why the respiratory pigments are present in multicellular organisms also.
