How is the function of cell division in single-celled organisms different from cell division in multicellular organisms?

cells in a multicellular organism have the ability to specialize in certain functions for the overall success of the organism. some genes will be expressed in some cells while other genes in other cells. this creates the difference between skin cells versus liver or blood cells. a unicellular organism must cover all the functions of an entire organism and all the necessary genes must be expressed plus all the functions of created and breaking down compounds necessary for growth, development and producing offspring.


How would you distinguish a large colonial organism from a multicellular organisms?

Multicellular organisms are organisms with more than one cell, the cells of which are usually specialized. A large colonial organism is an organism of many cells that are loosely attached to each other and that show little or no specialization among themselves. Multicellular organisms are capable of surviving on their own while colonial organisms are not.

Why must large organisms be multicellular?

Multicellular organisms require specialized organs and systems because in multicellular organisms, different jobs are done by different cells that are specialized, e.g. A blood cell carries oxygen. A nerve cell sends and receives signals. In multicellular organisms different functions are divided among different cells. The cells in multicellular organisms are organized in ways the enables them to survive and reproduce. For any multicellular organism to survive, different cells must work together. The right type of cell must be in the right place to do the work that need to be done.

Give three reasons why specialized systems are necessary in large multicellular organisms?

1. a division of labor occurs among cells2. many individual cells cannot work together without regulation and coordination3. most cells are not in direct contact with the outside environment


What is meant by division of labor in a multicellular organism?

The division of labor in multicellular organisms is having each cell organ to perform a specific duty. This is what a cell is compared to a manufacturing plant.


Do living things have to be multicellular?

No, there are many unicellular organisms among eubacteria, archaebacteria, and protists. These microbes are so great in number that the number of microbial cells in and on your body is greater than the number of your own cells.


What does the existence of very similar embryological forms among species imply?

That this is the basic form multicellular organisms take before they mature and their stem cells genetically coded to do so become what they are preprogrammed to become
