Cell specialization is necessary to support multicellular life because multicellular organisms need different tissues. This means it needs cells to make up those tissues and perform different functions.

Do some colonies of multicellular organisms have specialized cells?
Multicellular organisms, of course! Unicellular organisms have one cell, so no cellular specialization.
What life processes requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms?
All of them actually, especially if we're talking about a complex organism such as an animal or advanced plant. Tissues (specialized cells organized in a group) perform specific functions for the benefit of the entire organism, so you need tissues for every metabolic funtion to sustain life and assure reproduction. This means digestion, respiration, circulation, endocrine, reproduction, integumentary systems, skeletal (in advanced animals) and anything else I may have forgotten!
Why is the tissue specialization an advantage to multicellular organisms?
Tissue specialization has an advantage for multicellular organisms because it can make organs or organ systems. Have cells that can specialize means the cells can cooperate to form these organs.
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.
Is a cat unicellular or multicellular?
A cat is multicellular. Multicellular organisms have more than two cells. A multicellular organism is one that can be seen without the need of a microscope.
Would multicellular organisms function without specialized cells?
no it cant because multicellular organisms need specilized cells in order for them to remain stable to focus in one job

Why are plants and animals made from different type of tissues?
Well, plant and animal cells are what build multicellular organisms. Multicellular organisms have different organs and what not. We need different cells to do different jobs. Otherwise specialization. So basically, we need different cells for our bodies' purposes, and for right parts to function properly.
Is a cat unicellular or multicellular?
A cat is multicellular. Multicellular organisms have more than two cells. A multicellular organism is one that can be seen without the need of a microscope.
What is the similarity between a multicellular and unicellular organism?
Unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms both contain the characteristics of life. Furthermore, both unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms follow the same genetic code and even contain the same organelles.
What do all multicellular organisms need to get energy?
carbon dioxide or oxygen
Do all multicellular organisms need oxygen for their cells to get energy they?
yes
What can be a disadvantage for multicellular organisms?
Some of the structures formed by specialized cells are dependent upon other structures. If one structure within the organism is unable to function, other structures may not be able to function either. Muliticellular organisms need more energy than single-celled organisms to function.
What do organisms need in order to reproduce?
Most multicellular organisms reproduce sexually .
