Types of Cells
There are a variety of ways in which cells can be classified. For example, a cell can be separated according to its tendency towards existing alone or in a group setting. A single cell (also known as unicellular) organism functions by itself without need of any other cells for survival. A multicellular organism, on the other hand, is made up of an entire community of cells that are all specialized, interdependent and interconnected in their requirements and functions.
