Question 3

Scientists investigate two structures in a newly discovered multicellular organism. Both structures help to digest food.

StructureObservations
PAll the cells have a similar structure. The cells work together to make and release digestive enzymes.
QOne group of similar cells makes and releases digestive enzymes. A second group of similar cells contracts to move food. A third group of similar cells covers the inner and outer surfaces.

Explain how the observations show that structures P and Q are at different levels of organisation. Predict how digestion would be affected if the cells that contract stopped working.
