Question

The students watch with their microscope as some of the smaller pieces move around and the bigger pieces do not move.  One of the students makes the following claim. “This must be a group of different cells is a larger organism, since some of the smaller pieces are doing different things than the bigger pieces.  Different cells do different jobs in living things “Which is the best evaluation of their statement?

(a) They are wrong.  Larger organisms have different cells that do different things all the time and since some of these different objects are seen doing the same thing they must be a single celled organism

(b) They are wrong.  Group of cells in an organism might do different things or the same thing, but that doesn’t mean that they’re a part of a larger living thing

(c) They are right.  Groups of cells in multicellular organism are always working together, but if different parts are doing different things, they are most likely single called organisms.

(d) They are right.  Groups of cells in all organisms usually work together to keep the organism alive.  If cells are doing different things, they’re almost definitely a group of cells in a larger organism
