They are both organisms. - no response given

An amoeba is responsible for all functions, and a red blood cell is responsible for some functions.


correct- An amoeba is responsible for all functions, and a red blood cell is responsible for some functions. - correct
GPT-4o mini
The correct comparison is: **An amoeba is responsible for all functions, and a red blood cell is responsible for some functions.**

An amoeba, being a unicellular organism, performs all life functions within one cell. In contrast, a red blood cell is a specialized cell within a multicellular organism and primarily functions in transporting oxygen, relying on other cells to carry out different functions.

The correct statement is: **A euglena can survive on its own, but a white blood cell cannot.**

Euglena is a unicellular organism capable of photosynthesis and can live independently. In contrast, white blood cells are specialized cells within a multicellular organism and cannot survive on their own outside the body.
