Having specialized cells means your cells have the potential to become much more complex. They can lead to having complex tissues/organs/organ systems and the categorization of tasks because you're compartmentalizing and dividing the work up within the organism. This means that while some cells can take care of survival tasks, other cells can allow for growth and development of the organism as a whole. In organisms with even more specialized cells, this is seen more! The more specialized the cells, the more complex the organism, and the more the potential for development. You can see this in eukaryotes vs. bacteria, animals vs. plants, even mammals vs. reptiles. Monkeys are much more complex than lizards. Most people would agree that humans are the most complex (they're not "better" they just have more specialized cells).

Disadvantages:
A lot of energy is invested in specialization of cells.
Bacteria, Archer, some protests, etc, don't have specialized cells so they can devote a lot more energy to survival and reproduction. For example bacteria are really, really abundant. They have the highest population out of all the organisms in the world.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
