Question

why is division of labour important in a multicellular organism

Answer 1

Division of labour is differentiation of certain components or parts to perform different functions for increased efficiency and higher survival. Multicellular organisms often possess millions of cells. All the cells are not similar. The cell present on the surface is dead and impermeable to protect the internal cells from the harsh external environment. They also form structures for offence and defence of the organism.

Every cell of a multicellular organism cannot obtain food from outside. The organism requires a system for obtaining requires a system for obtaining food. Its digestion and distribution. Therefore, a digestive system and system of transport are also required.
Certain cells of the body take over the function of reproduction. Others take part in repair and replacement of worn out or injured portions.
For optimum functioning of cells, a multicellular organism also comes to have an internal favourable environment.
Therefore, multicellular organism comes to have the division of labour.

Answer 2

Division in a multicellular organism

Explanation:

• Multicellular life forms are comprised of millions and trillions of cells. Every one of these cells performs explicit capacities. All the cells specific for performing comparable capacities are gathered as tissues in the body.
• Thus, specific capacity is done by a gathering of cells at a distinct spot in the body. Thus, various capacities are done by various gatherings of cells in a living being and this is known as the division of work in multicellular living beings.
