Cells in a multicellular organism are specialized. The ways in which the cells work together and interact depend on the organism. You can think of the cells of an organism as members of a community. The size and complexity of the community differ from organism to organism.
A sponge is an animal that is fairly simple in its organization. It spends its life attached to the ocean floor, filtering food and other nutrients from the water. Like all animals, the sponge is organized at a cellular level. Different types of cells in its body perform different functions. For example, certain cells take in food, and other cells digest it. However, cells in a sponge are not very highly specialized. A piece broken from a living sponge will actually regenerate itself as new cells replace the lost ones.
In more complex organisms, such as plants and animals, cells are not only specialized but grouped together in tissues. A tissue is a group of similar cells that are organized to do a specific job. If you look at your hand, you will see the top layer of tissue in your skin. Humans have two layers of skin tissue, layered one on top of the other. Together these skin tissues provide protection and support.
What else can I help you with?
Are there living organisms without cells?
No, all living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
Are organisms made up of cells?
Yes, organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.
Are all organisms cellular?
most organisms are many-celled organisms..they are not cells by themselves However, there ARE one-celled organisms. It is thought of that organisms ARE MADE UP OF cells. We need cells, if they don't have cells to fix the "wounds" or help with the repairs that plants or animals need.
All organisms are made up of one or more what?
All organisms are made up of one or more cells. Organisms are a contiguous living system, such as plants and bacteria.
What is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells are not organisms?
Living cells that are part of organisms are organized in a specific way to carry out specialized functions, contributing to the overall survival and reproduction of the organism. Cells that are not part of organisms, like single-celled organisms or isolated cells, may function independently and do not contribute to a larger, multicellular organism. Organism cells work together in a coordinated manner to maintain homeostasis, while non-organism cells do not have this higher level of organization.
The difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells that are not organisms?
single celled organisms
Do cells have anything to do with organisms?
Yes, organisms are made of one or more cells.
Are there living organisms without cells?
No, all living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms.
What are organisms cells?
Organism cells.
Both cells and organisms share the characteristics of life how are cells and organisms different?
Cells are the basic units of life that make up living organisms, while organisms are made up of one or more cells that work together to carry out life functions. Organisms contain specialized cells that perform specific functions, while individual cells are much smaller and have more limited capabilities compared to whole organisms.
How organisms and cells are related?
both cells and organisms share certain characteristics, cells make you a complete organism.
Are organisms made up of cells?
Yes, organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.
What do we call an organism that consists of many cells?
Organisms composed of many cells are called multicellular organisms.
Function of the cytoskeleton in the cells of living organisms?
function of the cytoskeleton in the cells of living organisms?
What are the basic characteristics of all cells and organisms as outlined in cell theory?
cells organisms
What is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells that aren't living organisms?
Plant cells have a cell wall, and animal cells do not.
What kind of cells are not organisms?
dead cells
