Cells All living things are made of cells. Multicellular organisms are made of different types of cells. Different types of cells look different and do different things. Specialized cells group together to form a tissue and to perform a specific function (i.e., potato cells form potatoes and muscle cells form muscles)
Levels of Organization Images provided by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Illu_muscle_tissues.jpg and Science: A Closer Look (Maryland), Toolkit CD and page 30 (MacMillan/McGraw-Hill, 2008) Levels of Organization Cells: The basic building block. Tissues: Cells that work together to perform a function. Organs: Tissues that work together to perform a function. Organ System: Organs that work together to perform a function.

They have chloroplasts with chlorophyll to help plants make their own food.

They cannot make their own food and do not have chloroplasts. However, there is a greater variety to their shapes.
