Why is it an advantage to have a division of labor between different organs in the body?

I need to know that for tomorrow. Please help me. I just need a very brief explanation. No details. I would really appreciate some help!

To answer this question, it is better to compare between the structure of the human cell and the amoeba..

Both are eukaryotes, right? But what is the difference between them?

The amoeba is composed of only one cell, larger than a typical cell and carries out all the functions needed for living; repiration, breathing, feeding, excretion, reproduction... Although there are specialized organelles for specific functions, it is still one cell that does everything.. What about its efficiency?

The human body is composed of billions of cells, each group of cells is differentiated, meaning they develop in different ways.. They are specialised in their function. To differentiate, they require genes. These are found in every cell's nucleus, but the cell only uses those that allow differentiation. Therefore, each part of the body has specialized cells for specific functions, which allows better efficiency.

From the info. above, can you guess which is more efficient - unicellular or multicellular organisms?

Hope this has helped.

At the same time, one should also realize the flip side of the coin. In the event of systems failure, i.e. kidney shutdown, division of labor still allows the temproary survivability of the organism. The human body will still function with one kidney, and although it will affect the quality of life of the patient, the overall physiology (although impeded to a certain extent) will not be completely prevented from functioning. Hence prevention of pathology is largely buttressed by division of labor.
