Do cells perform the same function?

Heck no!

The simplest human cells are stem cells from which other types of cells may form. Cells have many diverse functions, blood is one example. There are three general types of cells in blood, red cells (erythrocytes), platelets and white cells (lymphocytes). There are 5 major subclasses of lymphocytes, each with particular functions mostly to do with immunity. Red cells carry oxygen and platelets stick together to plug injured blood vessels.

Other major categories include muscle cells (two major types - smooth and striated), nerve cells, and skin cells. Many organs have specific types of cells that are unique to that organ's function, including reproductive systems.

Move outside the human body and you will see creatures that are only one cell in size which means they must perform all the basic functions for life. Truly amazing.
