They differ because multicelluar organisms live longer and are bigger
Unicellular organisms are the organisms which have only on cell as the body eg: Amoeba, This is a unicellular organism which can perform all functions just like a multicellular animal. It performs respiration without any organs just like a multicelluar animal which has respiratory organs(Gills, lungs etc). and also reproduction, excretion, circulation, etc. A multicellular animal has many cells(Millions, trillions of cells) these cells are grouped to form tissues which perform a similar function (ie all the cells in a tissue perform similar function) The tissues are organized to form organs (Liver, Pancreas, Muscles etc). There are many differences between a unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms.
Unicellular organisms do NOT have specialized cells. By definition.
A cell. Cells are the basic unit of life. Unicellular organisms can perform life tasks on its own, and they are one cell. Multicellular organisims have more than one cell (you and I), and can also perform life tasks.
True. Unicellular organisms can perform all of their own functions including respiration, ingestion, digestion, excretion and reproduction.
In unicellular organisms, a single cell performs all the basic functions such as respiration, movement, excretion, digestion, etc. But in multicellular organisms, cells are grouped to form tissues. These tissues are specialised to carry out a particular function at a definite place in the body. For example, the muscle cells form muscular tissues which helps in movement, nerve cells form the nervous tissue which helps in transmission of messages. This is known as division of labour in multicellular organisms. It is because of this division of labour that multicellular organisms are able to perform all functions efficiently.
A multicellular organism usually lives longer than a one cell organism. A one celled organism is limited to the life span of it's one cell. Different tissues in a multicellular organism perform different functions and new cells and tissues are added in these organisms by cell division hence life span in multicellular organisms is longer than unicellular organisms.
Unicellular organisms only have one cell, multicellular organisms have more than one cellWell, unicellular organisms have one cell, and multicellular organisms have many."Uni" means one, "multi" means many
in unicellular organisms, only one cell performs all the functions of the body. On the other hand in multicellular organisms, there are specific cells that form a tissue and perform specific functions. So, multicellular organisms show division of labor and are more well defined.

As mammals elephants are multicellular. There is millions of different cells required to perform daily tasks.
Either multicellular or unicellular organisms. By the way are you using Prentice Hall Biology California because many of your questions are from the book? prentice hall florida actually
Unicellular organisms have only one cell. They have a large surface area to volume ratio and rely on simple diffusion to meet their needs. Multicellular organisms have many cells. The cells are specialized and have a certain job to do.

yes absolutely
The difference between a multicellular organisms like humans and unicellular ones like bacteria is that the specialization of cells inÊmulticellular organisms have the ability to perform different functions. ÊSome examples of cells that performÊdifferent function are nerve cells, blood cells and muscle cells.Ê
All unicellular organisms must perform basic life processes in order to survive. These processes include: Metabolism: Unicellular organisms need to generate energy from the consumption of food and other organic molecules. This energy is used for various activities such as growth, reproduction, and movement. Growth: Unicellular organisms must grow and divide in order to increase their population size. Movement: Some unicellular organisms have the ability to move in order to find food, avoid predators, and reproduce. Reproduction: Unicellular organisms must be able to reproduce in order to increase their population size. This can be done asexually, through binary fission, or sexually, through the exchange of genetic material. Excretion: Unicellular organisms must excrete waste products in order to maintain homeostasis. Sensing the Environment: Unicellular organisms must be able to sense their environment in order to detect changes in temperature, pH, and other factors that could affect their survival. Responding to Stimuli: Unicellular organisms must be able to respond to changes in their environment by making appropriate adjustments in order to survive. In summary, all unicellular organisms must perform basic life processes such as metabolism, growth, movement, reproduction, excretion, sensing the environment, and responding to stimuli in order to survive.
