To answer your question more seriously: I think no one knows why biology has come up with a way to divide up work among different cells, but it is evolutionary a relatively old concept. Once a collection of cells start working together on a specific task, they tend to specialise even more over time and develop new functions. So having organs allows an organisms to become more complex and ‘fitter’ because some of these capabilities might be an advantage over less evolved organisms.

Why did u choose to be a scientist
Ingmar commented on :
Hi Luke+tudor, I was so excited after my master thesis about lab work that I continued to do a PhD. After the PhD, I had job offers from companies but I decided to continue as a scientist at a University because it gave me the opportunity to work more independently
