An organism that is made up of only one cell is known as unicellular. There are many different kinds of unicellular organisms. They are microscopic, and you need a microscope to see them.
Here is a list of some unicellular organisms:
- amoeba
- algae
- euglena
- cyclops
- malaria parasite
- plankton
- protozoa
- sporozoa
- heliozoa
- dino flagellates
- hydra
- paramecium

∙ 14y agoThere are two entire kingdoms of organisms with only one cell. Life is grouped into superkingdoms and kingdoms. The definitions are not complete but will give some idea. SUPERKINGDOM PROKARYOTA (No cell nucleus - all are single celled) ...only one kingdom MONERA (bacteria) SUPERKINGDOM EUKARYOTA (Have a cell nucleus) ... kingdom PROTISTA (single celled organisms although sometimes form filaments of identical cells) ... Kingdom PLANTAE (multi-celled organisms that get their energy by photosynthesis) ... kingdom FUNGI (as for plants but get their nutrition from decayed organic matter) ... kingdom ANIMALIA (multi-celled organsisms - animals)

What does the term unicellular?
Multi-cellular and unicellular refer to the amount of cells that make up a single organism. Plants and animals are mulit-cellular organisms. An example of a uni-cellular organism is a bacteria, or omeba.
Is there a single celled organism?
An eukaryotic cell just means that it has membrane bound organelles and a nucleus. single cell organisms are organisms that are solo, they aren't cell specialized. Single cell organisms can be eukaryoic or prokaryotic (no membrane bound organelles and no nucleus) cells.
What is the simplest level of organization in a complex living organism?
If tyou are speaking from an evolutionary point of view, the simplest 'complex living organism' would be an Amoeba. They are single celled organisms but carry out all the functions an organism does with that single simple but effective cell structure. However from a chemistry point of view, inside a single cell are Proteins, and they are constructed from Amino Acids. Any smaller than that and you are just talking about individual atoms so Amino Acids are often regarded as the building blocks of living organisms.
What is a single-celled organisms referred to?
UnicellularA single-celled organism is called unicellular.Examples of unicellular organisms are bacteria and protozoa.
What consists of one cell?
An organism consisting of just one cell is unicellular.
Is eubacteria a single cell organism?
==The Final Answer. . .== Eubacteria is a single celled organism, just like its [so called] twin, Archaebacteria.
What does it mean for an organism to be single celled?
If an organism is single celled, it has just one cell. A bacteria is an example. We are made of many cells and we are called multicellular organisms.
How many cells are in an ameoba?
The amoeba is a single celled organism. It's just one cell.
What is a name of a cell that can grow into a plant?

What is Definition of unicellular?
"Unicellular" refers to life, in which each organism only has a single cell.

A cell.
How did Anton van leeuwenhoeks invention lead to the rejection of spontaneous generation?
Since he obviously helped with the improvement of the microscope, his higher lens quality helped him see a single cell organism. Well, if a single cell organism exists, spontaneous generation is corrupt. He really just proved what Zacharias Jensen did.

What is the differences between the human body and a single cell?
Single-cell organisms, also called protists (because they are placed in the kingdom Protozoa) contain all the devices necessary for life in a single cell. This would include devices for ingesting food, moving from place to place (in those that are motile), and eliminating waste, and possibly even defence mechanisms. The one cell of these organisms is not dependent on any other cell to survive. Human cells, on the other hand, each perform specific functions, are not self contained, and rely completely on the entire system, or a good part of it, for survival. A single human cell, removed from the body will not survive long. Ray
