Cells that are part of a multi-cellular organism typically have the same metabolic functions as single-celled organisms, however differences exist. Multicellular cells will have a specialized function, typically do not have to independently gather food and will express target genes selectively rather than all of the genes necessary for survival that a single-celled organism might express.

How does multicellular maintain homeostasis?

The cells of multicellular organisms become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another to maintain homeostasis. Specialized cells in multicellular organisms are organized into groups. A tissue is a group of similar cells that performs a particular function.


How do unicellular organisms differ from single cells of multicellular organisms?

Unicellular organisms have to complete all tasks to survive, and obviously have no specialised cells, while a multi cellular cell would be specialised and be made for a specific task such as a lung cell.
