Unicellular
So what does unicellular mean? Unicellular means any life form that
consists of just a single cell. There are many types of unicellular
organisms some include...
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

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 Humans
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

Similarities between
Unicellular and Multicellular?
Notes: Unicellular & Multicellular
Both need nutrients and Food to survive

Both can remove waste

The Main Goal is to SURVIVE!
