Correct option is D
Correct Answer:D. Both unicellular and multicellular organisms
Explanation:
Division of labour refers to the specialization of tasks to improve efficiency and functioning. This occurs in both unicellular and multicellular organisms but in different ways:
In Unicellular Organisms:
- Cellular Components: In unicellular organisms like bacteria and amoeba, various organelles perform specialized functions to sustain life.
- Example: Mitochondria for energy production, ribosomes for protein synthesis.
- Functional Efficiency: Even a single cell divides its activities among different organelles to ensure survival and reproduction.
In Multicellular Organisms:
- Specialized Cells: In multicellular organisms, cells specialize to perform specific functions, forming tissues, organs, and systems.
- Example: Nerve cells for transmitting signals, red blood cells for oxygen transport.
- Complex Systems: Organs work together in systems (e.g., the circulatory system) to achieve complex tasks efficiently.
