Algae Bacteria Protist Amoeba (eating a paramecium) Unicellular organisms are so small that you need a microscope to see them. Unicellular organisms can also survive by themselves because they can perform all necessary functions such as eating (obtaining energy), breathing, growing, removing waste, reproducing, and moving within the one cell. Notes: *Unicellular are organisms consisting of one cell *Bacteria, Protists, Amoeba, and Algae are all unicellular *Unicellular organisms are also known as Single cell *Can usually only be seen through a microscope *Can preform all life functions (Eating, breathing, moving, growing) KEY WORD: UNICELLULAR/SINGLE CELLED = ONE CELL August 29, 2018 Multicellular So what does multicellular mean? Multicellular means having or consisting of many cells or more than one cell to perform all vital functions. There are many types of multicellular organisms including... Multicellular organisms Animals composed of many cells, which are specialized and independent. Plants Multicellular organisms H u m ans can not survive by themselves. Multicellular organisms use a division of labor to survive. Which means different cells preform different functions. For example, the cells that make up your heart work together to pump blood through the body. In a multicellular organism each cell is dependent of each other in order to perform all necessary functions. Notes: *Multicellular is consisting of more than one cell *Animals, Plants, and Humans are multicellular *Usually if you can see it, it's multicellular *Cells are specialized and need other cells to survive (Dependent) *Uses a division of labor to preform all life functions KEY WORD: MULTICELLULAR = MORE THAN ONE CELL & CAN BE SEEN August 29, 2018 Differences between Unicellular and Multicellular Unicellular Multicellular Notes: Consists of more than Consists of one cell one cell Protist, Algae, Amoeba, Plants, animals, humans Bacteria Each cell is specialized Seen under a microscope (has only one function) CSaene pnre fuonrmd aellr a Uses a division of labor fmunicctiroonss cino opne cell Cells are dependent on each other to survive.
