Many of the structural factors that limit the size of a single-celled organism no longer apply to multicellular organisms, which can grow to enormous size.

Why can't single celled organisms like bacteria grow to become the size of a small fish?
because single celled organisms can only reach a certain size before imploding and the nucleus can only sustain and control so much.
What are the differences between single-celled organisms?
well i know that multi cellular organisms have a much more complecated structure and process but a single cellular organism has a process called the cellular resportary syestem and this works well but mostly on small single celled organisms becasue if you had a large organisms the size or dogs then by the time the oxygen from the H2O would get to the nuclei the paramecium or what ever organism you are specifying it would die that is why single celled organisms are so small...size matters
Why are single celled organism so small?
There is a limit to how big a cell can get, and that nearly always means we need a microscope to see them, Size is limited by the need for substances to diffuse in and out of the cell. If it gets too big there simply isn't enough surface to allow enough exchange of substances for the cell to maintain its life processes.
What increases in order for a many celled organisms to grow?
The numbers of cells must grow if the organism is to increased in size.
How does a single-celled organism grow?
All living things, whether they are made of one cell or a lot of cells, grow during periods of their lives. In a single-celled organism , the cell gets larger and divides, making other organisms.
How do some single-celled organisms increase their surface-area-to-volume ratio and surpass the size limits that constrain spherical cells?

Growth of many -celled organisms is due to an increase in what?
It is due to the increase in the amount of cells. The growth of single-celled organisms is due to the increase in the size of the cell.

What are some differences between single and multi celled organisms?
some of the difrrences is the size shape and the way they work
A form of asexual reproduction in a single celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size?
meisosis
How many cells do cocci have?
The size of an cocci bacteris depends on planes size division.
What causes growth in one celled organisms?
Size.
Is lettuce a single celled organism?
No. No single-celled organism is anywhere near that size. It is a plant and hence it is an Eukaryote.

Is rust a single cellled organism?
Rust on your fence or rust on your crops? Rust usually, that occurs on metallic objects is iron oxide, it's an inorganic compound so no cells. Unicellular usually refers to organic organisms of single cellular structure. Another 'Rust' is an organism. Do you mean Rust fungus? It is a fungus and produces spores which spread and cause the crop damage, it's not unicellular. It has a complex structure.
Is a onion cell a single?
No. No single-celled organism is anywhere near that size. It is a plant and hence it is an Eukaryote.
