How and why do the cells within some living things differ?
5C(3-5)#2: Microscopes make it possible to see that living things are made mostly of cells. Some organisms are made of a collection of similar cells that benefit from cooperating. Some organisms’ cells vary greatly in appearance and perform very different roles in the organism.
5C(3-5)#1: Some living things consist of a living cell. Like familiar organisms, they need food, water, air; a way to dispose of waste; and an environment they can live in.
