  • Understanding Multicellularity: Cells, Tissues, and Organs
    Many things consist of several cells! Here are some examples:

    Organisms:

    * Multicellular organisms: All living things that are not single-celled (like bacteria or amoebas) are made up of many cells. This includes plants, animals, fungi, and even some algae.

    * Tissues: Groups of similar cells working together to perform a specific function (e.g., muscle tissue, nervous tissue).

    * Organs: Structures composed of different tissues working together for a common purpose (e.g., heart, brain, stomach).

    * Organ systems: Groups of organs that cooperate to carry out major bodily functions (e.g., circulatory system, digestive system).

    Other things:

    * Colonies: Groups of single-celled organisms living together, sometimes with a division of labor. For example, a colony of bacteria.

    * Biofilms: Communities of microorganisms that adhere to a surface, often forming a protective layer.
