Which of the following best describes a tissue?

• A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function

• A single cell that performs all functions

• A collection of organs working together

• A specialized structure within a cell

DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms.

• Unicellular organisms have multiple cells, while multicellular organisms have a single cell.

• Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms have cells that work together in a coordinated manner.

• Unicellular organisms have a nucleus, while multicellular organisms do not.

• Unicellular organisms are always prokaryotic, while multicellular organisms are always eukaryotic.

DOK Level 1: Recall

How do organelles contribute to the function of a cell?

• They provide energy for the cell.

• They perform specific functions necessary for the cell's survival and operation.

• They store water and nutrients.

• They protect the cell from external damage.
