How are single- celled organisms similar and different to multi-celled organisms?

Answer 1

Cells that are part of a multi-cellular organism typically have the same metabolic functions as single-celled organisms, however differences exist. Multicellular cells will have a specialized function, typically do not have to independently gather food and will express target genes selectively rather than all of the genes necessary for survival that a single-celled organism might express.

Answer 2

1. Both are essentially membrane enclosed sacs

2. They contain a matrix within their cell membranes called the cytoplasm

3. They have a fixed amount of genetic material in their genomes

Answer 3

It depends on other factors.The most defining of which is the Prokarytoic or Eukaryotic classification of the organism. Some prokaryotes reproduce through budding and other forms of reproduction that greatly differs from the reproduction styles of multi-cellular organisms. But Eukaryotes reproduce through mitosis or meiosis even if they are single celled or multi-cellular.

Answer 4

they are similar because they both need food, water, air, and sunlight to live

Answer 5

They are similar because they all need water, air, food and sunlight to live

Answer 6

If it's on a test I would say that the answer be multi celled organisms have more cells than single celled organisms.
