The correct comparison is: **An amoeba is responsible for all functions, and a red blood cell is responsible for some functions.**
An amoeba, being a unicellular organism, performs all life functions within one cell. In contrast, a red blood cell is a specialized cell within a multicellular organism and primarily functions in transporting oxygen, relying on other cells to carry out different functions.
