Study Notes
Multicellular Organisms
- Organisms rely on various cell types for functions
- Specialized cells perform specific tasks like digestion and movement
- Cells must interact with each other to function effectively in an organism
Example: Frog
- Specialized cells (eyes, muscles, tongue) work together
- Coordinated actions (e.g., catching insects) require precise cell function
Growth and Development
- Growth starts with cell division (mitosis)
- Single cells divide to create identical cells
- Cells differentiate, specializing in different functions
- Some cells become muscle cells, others nerve cells
- Specialized cells form tissues
