Cell Biology Concepts and Functions

The video tutorial explores the concept of cells, the basic structural units of life. It covers the differences between unicellular and multicellular organisms, the structure and function of cells, and compares plant and animal cells. The tutorial also discusses the roles of various cell components, such as the nucleus and cytoplasm, and highlights the importance of cell membranes and walls. Additionally, it touches on the differences in cellular functions and structures, including the presence of organelles like mitochondria and lysosomes.

What is the primary difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?

• Unicellular organisms have multiple cells.

• Multicellular organisms have no specialized cells.

• Multicellular organisms perform all functions in one cell.

• Unicellular organisms perform all functions in one cell.
