Amoebas are single-celled organisms, whereas humans are multicellular organisms.
The main advantage of cell specialization in humans is that it allows for the division of labor, enabling different cells to perform specific functions efficiently.
Amoebas do not need a complex body structure because they are able to perform all necessary functions, such as movement, digestion, and respiration, within a single cell.
In humans, the hierarchy of increasingly complex structures is: cells → tissues → organs → organ systems.
A characteristic not exhibited by amoebas is a fixed body shape, as they are able to change their shape to adapt to their environment.
