Cell organization describes the differences between unicellular and multicellular organisms. Unicellular organisms like amoebas are small, simple organisms that contain all vital functions within a single cell. They do not have specialized organs or systems. In contrast, multicellular organisms like humans contain many different cell types that are specialized to perform specific functions. During development, a single cell from fertilization grows into an embryo with different cell types such as nerve cells, blood cells, and sperm cells that work together as a system.
