What is a benefit of multicellular organisms that is not shared by single-celled organisms?

All cells in a multicellular organism can perform all metabolic functions, thus maximizing metabolism.

Single-celled organisms can form tissues.

Single-celled organisms are simpler and thus less likely to experience breakdown or disease.

Cells cannot differentiate.

Multicellular

Explanation:

Cells are considered the fundamental units of life All living organisms are made up of one or more cells Unicellular organisms, like amoebas, consist of only a single cell Multicellular organisms, like people, are made up of many cells The cells in complex multicellular organisms like people are organized into tissues, groups of similar cells that work together on a specific task Organs are structures made up of two or more tissues organized to carry out a particular function, and groups of organs with related functions make up the different organ systems

Hence the benefit of multicellular organisms that is not shared by single-celled organisms is populations of cells in a multicellular body can be specialized for specific functions

Answer: All cells in a multicellular organism can perform all metabolic functions
