To explain: The reason due to which evolution of multicellular organisms led to the development of the circulatory system.
Introduction: Because they consist of several cells, multicellular organisms are structurally complex beings. They can be seen with the unaided eye. They have unique organ systems and organs. Since they are eukaryotes, they have structures that are bound to membranes. The division of work is visible in their cells.
Explanation of Solution
Blood arteries that transport blood away from and toward the heart make up the circulatory system. Blood is transported from the heart by arteries and returned through veins. Oxygen, nutrients, and hormones are delivered to cells by the circulatory system, which also eliminates wastes like carbon dioxide.
In multicellular organisms, the nutrients, oxygen, and minerals should be transported to each cell and the
The circulatory system evolved in eukaryotes to transport oxygen and nutrients to the cells and remove metabolic wastes from the cells.
