Introduction:
For the origin of multicellularity, the cells need to communicate with each other. The protein domain called cadherins function in cell signaling. On comparing the genome of animal cells and choanoflagellates, it was found that both contain similar protein domains.
The eukaryotes are believed to have evolved from protists as shown by the morphological and genetic studies. Protists are closely related to plants, fungi and animals as compared to other protists.

Plants use CO for 2 photosynthesis, and laboratory studies suggest that increasedCO2 levels could cause a rise in photosynthetic activity. However, as one environmentalist noted, What plants do in environmental chambers may not happen in nature, where there are many other interacting variables. Strictly from the standpoint of physiological effects, what are some possible ramifications of a rapid doubling of atmospheric CO2 on plants in temperate environments? In arid environments?arrow_forward
