How are cells in multi-celled organism similar and different in cell in a single cell organism?

Both!
All cells in a multicellular organism are identical genetically. This is because they are all formed from a single original cell (in humans, for example, the zygote) by mitosis.
However, as the organism develops, some cells will become different in shape and function; this is called differentiation, and it allows different cells to specialize for different roles. Some examples in humans: nerve cells, muscle cells, white blood cells (and there is more than one kind of each of these).

∙ 14y agoIs your question:
1.How are cells in multicellular organisms different from single-celled organisms or 2.How are cells different in multicellular organisms (as in: how is a cell in an eyelash different from one in a fingernail)
1. Cells in a multicellular organism work in the same ways as a single-cellular organism. They have mostly the same organites, produce energy, expel waste, etc. cells in a multicellular organism have a nucleus, wheras single cells may or may not have one. The main difference, though, is that cells in a multicellular organism are all working together.
2. All cells in an organism begin as stem cells. These cells, in a way, are like childred who do not know what they will do in life. as they move through school, they "specialize" in a given job. The "job" defines what proteins are produced by the cell, and whether they are part of a muscle or the grey matter in your brain.

∙ 14y agoMuticellular organisms are far more advanced than unicellular organisms. Because of the fact, that multicellular organisms are far more organized an specialized. Plus, to state the obvious multicellular organisms, have more than one cell, while unicellular do not.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThey are similar because they both have at least one cell membrane
Wiki User
∙ 14y agowell multi have more then one cell and single only have one.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agono they are not the same because in a multi celled organism is more than one cell and a single celled organism is only one cell
Wiki User
∙ 10y agono they don't

Is Monera single celled or multicelled?
monera is a single-celled organism. it is very simple and small e.g. bacteria and cyanbacteria
Is protista single celled or multicellular?
Most protista are unicellular, but not all are. Google Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta for examples of multicelled protista.
How are the multiplication of individual cells in a multi cellular organism similar to reproduction in a single celled organism?
The multiplication of cells in both multi and single cell organisms is very similar. In layman's terms, both types of cell split into two identical cells. In the case of the single cell organism, this means that there are now two of the organisms. In multi cell organisms, it means that the number of cells within the organism has increased.
When a organism has two different alleles coding for a single trait it is?
Heterozygous
What are the advantages of differential staining procedures over the simple over the simple staining tecnique?
Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or structures/cellular components of a single organism.
Is Monera single celled or multicelled?
monera is a single-celled organism. it is very simple and small e.g. bacteria and cyanbacteria
How are single celled organisms different than multicelled organisms?
because it is the cell wall
Why are living things are different as single celled amoebas and multicelled humans both considered to be organisms?
living things as different a single celled amoebas and multivalued humans both considered are both living and an organism must contain at least some Tye of living things.
Is the cerebellum single celled or multicelled?
single-celled
Why are living things as different as single celled amoebas and multicelled humans both considered to be organismes?
I dont know but maybe someone else does. :P
Is epithelium single or multi celled?
multicelled
Is an animal cell a single-celled or multicelled?
Multicellular
Is a night crawler a single or multi celled?
It is multi celled.
Is a sponge organic?
Sponges are commonly referred as an organism, because it is made up of more than one cell. Microorganisms normally only have one cell, single-celled organism, so a sponge would be a multicelled organism, or just a normal organism.,
Is protista single celled or multicellular?
Most protista are unicellular, but not all are. Google Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta for examples of multicelled protista.
