        Some cells are single, self-sustaining organisms, such as amoebas and bacteria. Other cells
        are part of multicellular organisms and cannot survive alone.

        functions by itself.

        Cell Tissues


        In multicellular organisms, cells depend on each other and are organized into tissues that
        perform a specific job.

        Organs and Organ Systems

        These tissues are further organized into organs and organ systems
        that work together to keep an organism alive.
