  Hi
  This is probably gonna sound like a dumb question but I’ll justify myself by saying I’m a first year uni student who has never taken biology before and just finished high school last year 😕 …so my question
  You know how humans/animals/plants are all made up of millions of cells well when we talk about a cell making a specific protein and their specific functions well does this mean every single cell is the same???…Do you guys get what I mean???
  Thanks

  No, every single cell is not the same. or else we wouldn’t be a multicellular organism, we would be a colony of single-cell organisms.
  Cells undergo diferentiation during their development from the zygote. In primitive animals and plants only a few types of cells exist. In more evolved animals like humans, there are more than 200 types of cells, all grouped into tissues
  PS: I am not even a uni student, i’m in high school :p
