Best Answer

They generally consist of only one cell (!)

Above that I cant give you a better answer as there is such variety in unicellular organisims. Bacteria (and all prokaryotic life), single celled eukaryotes such as amoebia, white blood cells and fungus to name the main offenders.


To keep it general all single celled organisms must be able to reproduce, sustain their life and consist of one cell. The reason viruses are not classed as living organisms is that they are unable to reproduce without invading it's host and hijacking their reproduction machinery.
