Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Dictyostelium discoideum transitions to a multicellular form, it exhibits metabolism as the cells collectively process nutrients, growth as the multicellular structure enlarges, reproduction as the structure eventually produces spores for propagation, response as the organism reacts to environmental stimuli, and homeostasis as it maintains internal stability. Evolution, while a characteristic of life, is a process that occurs over generations and is not a direct characteristic of the multicellular form itself.
