==Unicellular to Multicellular Organisms==
 +
What would constitute a clear transitional form?  A group of unicellular organisms that work together to accomplish a function to sustain their life, like digestion of an energy source through shared enzymes?  If this is the case bacteria order myxobacteria is a prime example of this.  These bacteria work together often to achieve results that are not just based on physical manipulation but chemical.  They often will converge on food and increase the concentration of their digestive enzymes to digest the food.  They have to do this in close proximately of each other due to the enzymes being unstable; being close together allows the bacteria to produce a stabilizing chemical environment to stabilize the enzymes.  In other words, by working together they share chemicals to aid in their ability to digest their food source.  So would this be considered an example or social behavior by unicellular organisms (which can only be chemically driven)?  I will wait for a few days for responses before editing the article.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 11:23, 16 December 2008 (EST)
