In Multicellular organisms, every cell type has a specific function to perform so as to keep the whole body in coordination and fully functioning.
It happens so because of the division of labor and cellular specialization that enables the development of a multicellular organism. Cells become advanced in one endeavor and depend upon adjacent cells to process and perform the other functions of the body. All the cells work in coordination with each other for the proper functioning of an organism.

∙ 13y agoCells 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 is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells are not organisms?
Single celled organisms are examples of living cells that are organisms. Most other living cells are parts of living organisms, but could not survive long on their own.
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.
What are large organisms composed of a community of cells?
These are called multi-celled organisms.
How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
There are 46 chromosomes in the body cells of organisms which have a relationship with the sex cells.
What are advanced cells and organisms called?
Eukariyotic cells
Both cells and organisms share the characteristics of life how are cells and organisms different?
Cells are smaller than organisms.
The difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells that are not organisms?
single celled organisms

What are all organisms made of?
All organisms are made of cells.
Do cells have anything to do with organisms?
Yes, organisms are made of one or more cells.

What are organisms cells?
Organism cells.
What do we call an organism that consists of many cells?
Organisms composed of many cells are called multicellular organisms.
How organisms and cells are related?
both cells and organisms share certain characteristics, cells make you a complete organism.
What are the basic characteristics of all cells and organisms as outlined in cell theory?
cells organisms
Function of the cytoskeleton in the cells of living organisms?
