How are single- celled organisms similar and different to multi-celled organisms?

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.

2. They contain a matrix within their cell membranes called the cytoplasm
3. They have a fixed amount of genetic material in their genomes

∙ 12y agoIt depends on other factors.The most defining of which is the Prokarytoic or Eukaryotic classification of the organism. Some prokaryotes reproduce through budding and other forms of reproduction that greatly differs from the reproduction styles of multi-cellular organisms. But Eukaryotes reproduce through mitosis or meiosis even if they are single celled or multi-cellular.

What is a description cells?
Cells are the basic units of life. They range from one celled organisms to multicelled organisms such as us. We are made of between 75-100 trillion cells.
What is one way that single-celled organisms are different from multi-celled organisms?
One way that single-celled organisms are different from multi-celled organisms is in their complexity. Single-celled organisms consist of just one cell, while multi-celled organisms are made up of multiple cells organized into specialized tissues, organs, and systems. This allows multi-celled organisms to perform more complex functions and have greater structural and functional diversity.
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-cell organisms similar to multi-cell organisms?
If it's on a test I would say that the answer be multi celled organisms have more cells than single celled organisms.
Do cells in many - celled organisms all have similar shapes?
No. The shape of a cell depends on its function.
How are single celled organisms different than multicelled organisms?
because it is the cell wall
Is there such a thing as a tri-celled organism?
Not really. Organisms are either one celled or multicelled. Tri-cells can be formed by uni celled organisms for reproduction.
Is the cerebellum single celled or multicelled?
single-celled

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 skin singled celled or multi celled organisms Please help me my science teacher would be mad if i don't get the answer soon?
Erm...skin is an organ, not an organism, first of all, and multicelled as well.
