A tissue is a group of cells with similar structure and function working together to perform specific tasks. This division of labor allows multicellular organisms to be more efficient - just like how different workers in a factory have specialized jobs that contribute to the final product.
🔬 Key Concepts
Tissues are groups of similar cells
Division of labor increases efficiency
Structure matches function
Found in all multicellular organisms
Did You Know?
The concept of "division of labor" was first used by economist Adam Smith, but it perfectly describes how cells work together in tissues!
🎯 Learning Objectives
Understand what tissues are, why they form, and how division of labor makes multicellular life possible.
