Question

2. What would be the outcome of a unicellular organism that cannot maintain homeostasis? (1 point)

It dies.
It divides.
It shrinks.
It grows larger

Answer 1

Option A = it dies

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis:

It is the ability of organisms to maintain the equilibrium in its internal environment in order to deal with external environmental changes.

If the unicellular organism cannot maintain the homeostasis it would die.

Importance of homeostasis:

It is constant chemical and physical condition of cell. The unicellular organisms in maintained homeostasis condition can grow and reproduce. They respond to the environment and transfer energy. It is the primary objective of unicellular organism other wise they would not survive.

It is very important for them because they totally rely on it and can perform the necessary functions of life.

While in case of multi cellular organisms all cells communicate with each other to maintain the homeostasis.
