How are cells usually organized in large mulicellular organisms?

Cells are organized into tissues, which then form organs. These organs work together in organ systems to carry out specific functions in the organism. Overall, multicellular organisms have a hierarchical organization of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems to support their complex physiological functions.


A living thing made up of one or more cells?

All living things are made up of cells. Single celled plants and animals have one cell each. Many bacteria, algae and other microscopic plants and animal can be multi-cellular. Large plants and animals (higher order) can have trillions of cells each.


What are the advantages of being composed of many small cells instead of a few large ones?

When there are more components to a system, like having more cells, then there is a greater potential for more complex behaviors. With more complexity, there can be some advantages for survival. The interesting thing is that we still have here on earth, very simple organisms that are composed of one or just a small number of cells, and we also have organisms that are composed of a large number of 'small' cells. The jury is still not out on which are more successful. As an example, if we complex humans with a large number of small cells launch a nuclear attack against each other, we would all die, but the cockroaches would probably survive because, in part, they are made of a smaller number of cells. Which anatomy has a better advantage? It's hard to say.


What is a large land community of living organisms of a single ecological region called?

That is referred to as a biotic community, which consists of various species living in a specific ecosystem.


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.

How are tissues and cells and organs related?

Cells are the smallest unit of life. Large groups of cells with the same purpose are called tissue, groups of tissue with the same purpose form organs, organs with similar purposes form systems and systems form organisms.


What are cells in large organisms called?

Cells in large organisms are typically referred to as somatic cells, which make up the majority of the body's tissues and organs. These cells are specialized to perform specific functions within the organism.

Do tigers have organisms?

Yes, tigers are organisms themselves; they are large carnivorous mammals classified as part of the species Panthera tigris. Like all living organisms, tigers are composed of cells and exhibit characteristics such as growth, reproduction, and response to their environment. They play a vital role in their ecosystems as apex predators.

Why do cells in large organisms not tend to be in danger of bursting?

Large organisms have mechanisms to regulate the osmotic pressure inside their cells, maintaining them within a safe range. They also have structural support from tissues and cell walls. Additionally, large organisms have efficient waste removal systems that prevent the buildup of harmful substances inside cells.
