Q
Advantages of Multicellularity
A
- It is more energy efficient as they are not wasting energy carrying out all the functions necessary for life.
- Longer lifespans as they are energy efficient.
- Sexual reproduction and genetic recombination leads to increasing

Q
Disadvantages to multicellularity
A
- More cells means more energy required for survival.
- Cells cannot function independently.
- More energy required for reproduction.
- Take longer to evolve and adapt to long term changes in their
