Cells are the basic building blocks of life or in other words you are made of living cells that work together to create an organism. Cells help our body. Cells are one part of our body that we need to live. They also protect our body from harm.

The cell is the building block that makes up living things. Everything that is alive is made of one or more cells. The simplest plants and animals consist of only one cell. Cells in more complicated living things work together. They are organized in groups, each other which has some special work to do for the plant or animal.

A tissue is a group of cells of a particular kind that does one particular type of work. For example, there is bone tissue, muscle tissue, or bark tissue. When tissues co-operate to perform a special task, such a group of tissues is called an "organ". An example of this is the human hand, which is composed of bone, muscle, nerve, and other tissues.

In the human body there are five important types of cells. Epithelial cells make up the skin and the glands, and line the blood vessels. Muscle cells make up the three kinds of muscles. Nerve cells make up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Blood cells are found in the blood and lymph. Connective tissue cells make up the framework tissue of the body.

The circulatory system, in higher forms of living, carries food and oxygen to every cell and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide. The individual cells combine the food and oxygen slowly, thus obtaining the heat and energy necessary for their life and work. It is because of this energy that muscles can contract, nerves can conduct messages, and the brain can think.

Job of cells differ depending on what kind of cell it is. That would be like asking what humans do. Because we have all sorts of jobs (going from a salesman to a janitor), we are different and cannot be asked a question so vague.

What are the differences in cell organelles between onion cells potato cells cheek cells and lettuce cells?

The difference between potato cells and onion cells, check cells, and lettuce cells is the presence of starch in the potato cells chloroplast organelles. The difference between cheek cells and the rest is easier the cheek cells do not have chloroplasts at all.

Do plant cells specialize in the same way animal cells do?

Plant cells do specialize but not in the same way as animal cells. Animal cells have specialized cells such as nerve cells, reproductive cells or muscle cells etc. Plant cells do not have any of those. But Plant cells have other specialized cells such as photosynthesis cells, epidermal cells etc. Both Animal and Plant cells have specialized cells that perform a specific function to keep the cell/organism alive.
