  15. QUESTIONS (With your Neighbor) • What cells are most important to your body? • Do you think we have cells that we can live without? • Why bother studying cells?

  16. Specialized Cells • Plants and animals contain many cells. In a many-celled (multicellular) organism the cells are often quite different from each other and are specialized to perform specific functions. SPECIALIZED CELLS

  17. Why be Multicellular • Multicellular organisms can grow much larger than single celled organisms and still be efficient. • Multicellular organisms are much more complex because they have various cell types that can perform specialized functions. (a division of labor) • Survival of the organism is not dependent on just one cell.

  18. Cells don’t really look like this…

  19. Specialized Cells • This specialization starts with STEM CELLS, a special type of UN-specialized cell that has the potential to develop into many different cell types during development. STEM CELLS
