Study Notes
Purpose
- Essential roles in a variety of biological processes.
- Contribute to homeostasis by maintaining balance within organisms.
Number of Divisions
- Divisions can vary greatly; common categorizations include unicellular and multicellular.
- Multi-cellular organisms typically have specialized cell types.
Function in Organisms
- Cells are the fundamental unit of life, performing vital functions like metabolism, energy production, and waste elimination.
- Different cell types are specialized for tasks such as reproduction, nutrient absorption, and immune response.
- Organ systems are composed of tissues, which are groups of similar cells working together for a specific function.
