Unicellular Organisms
Unicellular OrganismsDefinition:
Unicellular organism – an organism made of only one cell
Information:These organisms are very small and need
to be seen with a microscope.
Examples of Unicellular Organisms
Amoeba
Bacteria
Protozoa
Unicellular algae
Unicellular fungi
Unicellular yeasts
Paramecium
Unicellular Organisms Benefits
They can reproduce faster
Characteristics Offspring are
identical to each other and to parent(s)
They are not as complex
Do NOT have cell differentiation
They tend have shorter lives than multicellular organisms
Images of Unicellular Organisms
Multicellular Organisms
Multicellular OrganismsDefinition:
Multicellular organism – an organism made of two or more cells
Information:
These organisms are able to be seen with the naked eye.
These organisms need all parts of themselves to survive. (with few exceptions)
Common Names Many – celled organisms
Mammals
Birds
Reptile
Fish
Examples of Multicellular Organisms
Humans
Cats
Dogs
Insects
Birds
Flowers
Mold
Trees
Images of Multicellular Organisms
Multicellular Organisms Benefits
They are able to adapt (have different traits)
They DO have cell differentiation
Characteristics They consist two
or more cells They are able to
grow large Tend to be more
complex than unicellular organisms
Exit Slip 1) Identify the multicellular organism: a) All algae b) Sunflower c) Amoeba d) Bacteria 2) Analyze which image is an unicellular
