Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order for the evolution of requirements for complex multicellularity in animals starts with adhesion, which allows cells to stick together. Next is cell signaling, which enables cells to communicate with each other. Gap junctions follow, providing direct pathways for cells to exchange materials and signals. Finally, bulk flow systems evolve to transport nutrients, gases, and waste products over larger distances within the organism.
