5th week of 4th six weeks

Honors Science

This week...

How do unicellular and multicellular organisms differ?

How does cell differentiation lead to the organization within a multicellular organism?

 

     All matter is made of atoms.  Atoms combine and form molecules. Molecules make up cells.  A large animal, such as a Komodo dragon, is not made of one cell.  Instead, it is made of trillions of cells working together.  The skin of the Komodo dragon is made of many cells that are specialized for protection.  The Komodo dragon has other types of cells, such as blood cells and nerve cells, which perform other functions.  Cells work together in the Komodo dragon and enable the whole organism to function.  This is the same way that cells work together in you and in other multicellular organisms.
