How are multi-celled and single-celled organisms different?

• Multi-celled organisms need energy to survive, while single-celled organisms need no energy to survive.

• Single-celled organisms can be seen without using a microscope, while multi-celled organisms are microscopic.

• Multi-celled organisms have large numbers of specialized cells to perform a variety of life functions, while single-celled organisms complete life functions with one cell.

• Single-celled organisms have large numbers of identical cells that all perform the same function, while multi-celled organisms have cells that are all different and perform different life functions.
