Unicellular and
Multicellular Organisms
Class VI
“Difference between Unicellular and Multicellular Organisms”

Introduction:
• - Unicellular and multicellular organisms are two fundamental
categories of life
• - Understanding their differences is crucial for biology, medicine, and
ecology
“Difference between Unicellular and Multicellular Organisms”

Unicellular:

• Single-celled organisms, e.g., bacteria, protozoa, yeast


• - Characteristics:
• - Small size
• - Simple structure
• - One cell performs all functions (nutrition, reproduction, response to
stimuli)
• - Asexual reproduction (binary fission, budding)
• - Examples: Amoeba, Paramecium, E. coli
“Difference between Unicellular and Multicellular Organisms”

Multicellular:

• Organisms composed of many cells, e.g., plants, animals, fungi


• - Characteristics:
• - Large size
• - Complex structure (tissues, organs, systems)
• - Division of labor among cells (specialization)
• - Sexual reproduction (meiosis, gametes)
• - Examples: Humans, trees, mushrooms
