Question

The human heart is an organ that is made up of cells. Not all of the cells that make up the heart are identical, however. What name is given to a group of similar cells that perform a special function and together make up an organ?

Answer 1

Tissue - this is the name given to a group of similar cells that perform a special function and together make up an organ.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be Tissue.

In the cellular organization, tissue comes in after cells and before organs.

it refers to the assembly of similar cells which carry out the same or common function.

Similarly, when similar tissues work in synchronization to perform a particular function, the assembly is termed as an organ.

For example, the heart is an organ used to pump blood. It is made up of cardiac tissue which helps in synchronized contraction of the heart.
