Question 1:
Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multi-cellular
organisms like humans?
Answer
Multicellular organisms such as humans possess complex body designs. They have
specialised cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body
such as intake of food and oxygen. Unlike unicellular organisms, multicellular cells
are not in direct contact with the outside environment. Therefore, diffusion cannot
meet their oxygen requirements
