Single-celled organisms consist of just one cell, which performs all necessary life functions, while multicellular organisms are composed of multiple cells that work together, often specializing in different tasks. Single-celled organisms reproduce asexually, typically through binary fission, whereas multicellular organisms can reproduce sexually or asexually. Additionally, single-celled organisms often have simpler structures and metabolic processes compared to the complex organization and differentiation found in multicellular organisms.
The difference is that a unicellular organism has one cell and has a shorter life, is much smaller, and has a larger amount of predators. A multicellular organism has a larger size meaning less predators and larger animals, longer life because unlike unicellular organism who just die after losing its only cell a multicellular organism stays alive, and a big difference is multicellular organism have specialized cells like heart muscle cells, and brain cells.
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).
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
Cells in multicellular organisms are adapted through specialization, where different cell types perform specific functions, such as muscle cells for movement and neurons for signaling. They communicate with each other via chemical signals and gap junctions, enabling coordinated responses to stimuli. Additionally, cells are organized into tissues and organs, which enhances efficiency and allows for complex functions that support the organism's survival. This cooperative arrangement fosters a higher level of complexity and adaptability than unicellular organisms.
In what ways, if any, does a single-celled organism differ from its parents?
Either multicellular or unicellular organisms. By the way are you using Prentice Hall Biology California because many of your questions are from the book? prentice hall florida actually
There are many different ways that an organism can be preserved. A few ways are mumification, buried in segments, taxidermy, freezing, fossilization, along with many others.

Microorganisms multiply in a few different ways. They can multiply using binary fission, mitosis and meiosis. Different organisms use different ways.
Some Fungi can be multicellular and others can be unicellular. Their cell walls are chitin and fungi are also heterotrophs. Plants are only multicellular. Their cell walls are of cellulose and plants are autotrophs.

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.
