Cell division allows for growth and replacement of dead cells. Most multicellular organisms are made of different cell types that are specialised to carry out specific functions. Control and ...

For instance, by definition every multicellular organism possesses multiple cells that remain associated following cell division. But while plant and animal species generate at least a dozen ...

A microscopic multi-celled organism has returned to life after being frozen for 24,000 years in Siberia, according to new research. Scientists dug up the animal known as a bdelloid rotifer from ...

Diffusion is crucial in both single-celled and multi-celled organisms. In both single-celled organisms like prokaryotic bacteria and eukaryotic algae, oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules move by ...

It shows that some early unicellular organisms could differentiate into multiple cell types and form colonies. This process could bridge the gap between single-celled ancestors and complex ...
