 Section 7–4 A single-celled organism is also called a(an) organism. Multicellular What is cell specialization in a multicellular organism? It is the characteristic of having separate tasks for each type of cell. Cell specialization INCLUDES: Specialized cells perform particular functions within the organism. The human body contains many different cell types. Some cells are specialized to enable movement. What are four levels of organization in a multicellular organism? Tissues Cells Organs Organ Systems What is a tissue? It is a group of similar cells that perform a particular function. What are the four main types of tissue in most animals? Muscle Epithelial Connective Nervous Groups of tissues that work together to perform a specific function are called a (an) ORGAN What kinds of tissues can be found within a muscle in your body? They include muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue. What is an organ system? It is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function. An organelle that uses the energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food molecules A structure in eukaryotic cells that acts like a specialized organ A saclike structure in which cells store materials A network of protein filaments that helps the cell maintain its shape Cells that have a nucleus The organelle that uses energy from food to make high-energy compounds A theory that states that all living things are composed of cells The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane The process of taking materials into the cell by means of in foldings of the cell membrane A group of similar cells that perform a particular function * * *
