Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell, in contrast to single-celled organisms. Most life that can be seen with the the naked eye is multicellular, as are all animals (except for specialized organisms such as Myxozoa) and land plants.
In developmental Biology, cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. Differentiation occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as the organism changes from a simple zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell types. Differentiation is a common process in adults as well: adult stem cells divide and create fully differentiated daughter cells during tissue repair and during normal cell turnover. Differentiation dramatically changes a cell's size, shape, membrane potential, metabolic activity, and responsiveness to signals. These changes are largely due to highly controlled modifications in gene expression. With a few exceptions, cellular differentiation almost never involves a change in the DNA sequence itself. Thus, different cells can have very different physical characteristics despite having the same genome.[citation needed]
A cell that is able to differentiate into all cell types of the adult organism is known as pluripotent. Such cells are called embryonic stem cells in animals and meristematic cells in higher plants. A cell that is able to differentiate into all cell types, including the placental tissue, is known as totipotent. In mammals, only the zygote and subsequent blastomeres are totipotent, while in plants many differentiated cells can become totipotent with simple laboratory techniques. In cytopathology, the level of cellular differentiation is used as a measure of cancer progression. "Grade" is a marker of how differentiated a cell in a tumor is.
Cells that are specialized in multicellular organisms means they do many things. This is what helps the body function.
Because multicellular organisms has many organs that perform functions.And specialized cells are important because they make the function for the cell.
Streptococcus is unicellular, meaning it is made up of a single cell without complex structures or differentiation into specialized cells.
specialized cells are cells that exist for a specific function for example skin cells or brain cells or liver cells. all multicellular organisms have specialized cells. unicellular organisms do not because they have to carry out all the functions of an entire organism while a skin cell does not have to "worry" about cleaning toxins from the body for example.
no it cant because multicellular organisms need specilized cells in order for them to remain stable to focus in one job
Since a giant panda is multicellular, then yes. Cells in a multicellular organism are specialized.

The cells of multicellular organisms become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another to maintain homeostasis. Specialized cells in multicellular organisms are organized into groups. A tissue is a group of similar cells that performs a particular function.
In a multicellular cell each organelle has a specialized task

True
Frogs have multicellular cells. Just like all organisms in the animal kingdom, frogs are made up of complex, multicellular structures with specialized cells performing different functions within their bodies.
All cells in a multicellular organism(an organism with two or more cells) are specialized separating them from unicellular organisns
Multicellular living things are made up of multiple cells that work together to perform specific functions. Each cell in a multicellular organism is specialized to carry out a particular function, such as nerve cells transmitting signals or muscle cells contracting. The coordinated efforts of these specialized cells allow multicellular organisms to maintain homeostasis, grow, and respond to environmental stimuli effectively.

Yes plant cells are multicellular. They form specialized tissues. Other examples of multicellular organisms are fungi, animals, and brown algae.
