How are cells in multi-celled organism similar and different in cell in a single cell organism?

Answer 1

Both!

All cells in a multicellular organism are identical genetically. This is because they are all formed from a single original cell (in humans, for example, the zygote) by mitosis.

However, as the organism develops, some cells will become different in shape and function; this is called differentiation, and it allows different cells to specialize for different roles. Some examples in humans: nerve cells, muscle cells, white blood cells (and there is more than one kind of each of these).

Answer 2

Is your question:

1.How are cells in multicellular organisms different from single-celled organisms or 2.How are cells different in multicellular organisms (as in: how is a cell in an eyelash different from one in a fingernail)

1. Cells in a multicellular organism work in the same ways as a single-cellular organism. They have mostly the same organites, produce energy, expel waste, etc. cells in a multicellular organism have a nucleus, wheras single cells may or may not have one. The main difference, though, is that cells in a multicellular organism are all working together.

2. All cells in an organism begin as stem cells. These cells, in a way, are like childred who do not know what they will do in life. as they move through school, they "specialize" in a given job. The "job" defines what proteins are produced by the cell, and whether they are part of a muscle or the grey matter in your brain.

Answer 3

Muticellular organisms are far more advanced than unicellular organisms. Because of the fact, that multicellular organisms are far more organized an specialized. Plus, to state the obvious multicellular organisms, have more than one cell, while unicellular do not.

Answer 4

Cells in multi-celled organisms are similar to single-celled organisms in that they both contain cellular structures such as mitochondria and a nucleus. However, cells in multi-celled organisms are specialized to perform specific functions and work together in a coordinated manner, while single-celled organisms are capable of carrying out all necessary functions independently. Additionally, multi-celled organisms have cell-to-cell communication systems that help coordinate activities among different types of cells.

Answer 5

They are similar because they both have at least one cell membrane

Answer 6

well multi have more then one cell and single only have one.

Answer 7

no they are not the same because in a multi celled organism is more than one cell and a single celled organism is only one cell

Answer 8

no they don't

Answer 9

No
