    Study Notes

    Multicellular Organisms

    • Multicellular organisms are composed of many cells that work together to form tissues, organs, and organ systems.
    • Specialization of cells in multicellular organisms allows for division of labor, increasing efficiency, and enhancing overall functionality.

    Specialization of Cells

    • The purpose of specialization of cells is to allow for the performance of specific functions, enabling the organism to survive and thrive.

    Tissues in Human Beings

    • An example of a tissue in human beings is epithelial tissue, which forms the lining of organs, glands, and other body surfaces.

    Vascular Tissues in Plants

    • The main role of vascular tissues in plants is to transport water, minerals, and nutrients from roots to leaves and other parts of the plant.

    Definition of Tissue

    • A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a specific function in multicellular organisms.
