What is the primary purpose of cell specialization?

To ensure genetic diversity
To divide labor among the cells of an organism
To increase the number of cells in an organism
To create a more efficient respiratory system

The correct answer is: To divide labor among the cells of an organism

Cell specialization allows for a more efficient division of labor among cells in an organism, instead of all cells performing the same tasks. Option A is incorrect because genetic diversity is not the primary purpose of cell specialization. Option C is incorrect because increasing the number of cells is not the main objective of cell specialization. Option D is incorrect because creating a more efficient respiratory system is not the primary reason for cell specialization. While it may be a secondary benefit, it is not the main purpose.
