Cell Structure

Your body is made of trillions of cells that construct the tissues and organs that make your body work. The organs work together in organ systems to do different jobs in the body and help you maintain homeostasis. In this topic, you will learn about the different cellular organelles and their functions. In addition, you will compare how unicellular and multicellular organisms perform the same metabolic processes.
