Single-celled organisms utilize organelles to maintain homeostasis, while large multicellular organisms, such as humans, use organs to maintain homeostasis. How are organelles and organs similar? a Organelles are specialized for cellular respiration while organs are specialized for breathing. b Organelles are similar in structure to organs. c Organelles are similar in function to organs. d Organs are specialized for metabolism while organelles are specialized for homeostasis.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: c Organelles are similar in function to organs.

Both organelles in single-celled organisms and organs in multicellular organisms perform specialized functions that contribute to the overall maintenance of homeostasis in their respective systems. While the scale and complexity differ, the essential role of facilitating specific physiological processes is a similarity between them.
