Concerning Producing Larger Organisms Without Cellular Differentiation

question 13

Multiple Choice

Concerning producing larger organisms without cellular differentiation,

• A)nature has never evolved larger organisms because it would never work.
• B)nature has evolved larger unicellular organisms but they are rare and have surface-to-volume limitations.
• C)this has never occurred since the ancestral cell was small.
• D)the more derived the organism,the more differentiated and the smaller the cell size.
• E)the more primitive the organism,the smaller the cell size.Larger size and complexity is accomplished through multicellularity.A workable surface-to-mass ratio in an increasingly large single cell cannot be maintained.

Definitions:

Vertical Asymptote

A line that a graph approaches but never touches, typically representing values that are not included in the domain of a function.

Domain

The set of all possible input values (x-values) for a given function, over which the function is defined.

Logarithm

The power to which a base, usually 10 or e, must be raised to produce a given number.

Vertical Asymptote

A vertical line that a graph approaches but never touches or crosses, indicating that the function approaches infinity or negative infinity as it gets close to the line.
