== Multicellular difference? ==
The intro currently says ''All known multicellular organisms eventually die''. Are single-celled organisms immune? Can we just drop the "multicellular"? I know about spores, but I wonder if they are alive. I suppose they are.. but I'd say they are more like 'suspended animation'. I would think that eventually any individual one-celled organism will die, after a long enough period of activity? Or am I confused about that? [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J.

Multicellular difference?

The intro currently says All known multicellular organisms eventually die. Are single-celled organisms immune? Can we just drop the "multicellular"? I know about spores, but I wonder if they are alive. I suppose they are.. but I'd say they are more like 'suspended animation'. I would think that eventually any individual one-celled organism will die, after a long enough period of activity? Or am I confused about that? J. Noel Chiappa 13:36, 17 April 2008 (CDT)
