Multiple choice

In a multicellular organism, the shape of a cell depends upon the

  1. functional adaptations

  2. surface tension

  3. viscosity of the protoplasm

  4. All of the above

  5. mechanical action exerted by the adjoining cells
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as in a multicellular organism, the shape of a cell depends upon functional adaptations, surface tension, viscosity of the protoplasm and mechanical action exerted by the adjoining cells. In a multicellular organism, the shape of a cell depends upon the mechanical action exerted by the adjoining cells. But, other factors are also responsible like functional adaptations, surface tension, viscosity of the protoplasm, etc.
