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.

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 can't single celled organisms like bacteria grow to become the size of a small fish?

Single-celled organisms lack the internal structures necessary to support larger size. Diffusion is inefficient over long distances in larger cells, limiting their ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste. In addition, larger size would require more complex structures for movement and support, which would be energetically costly for single-celled organisms.


How is the growth of a single celled organism different than the growth of a multicelled?

Single-celled organisms grow by increasing in size and dividing into two daughter cells through binary fission. Multicellular organisms grow by increasing in cell number and size through cell division and differentiation, leading to the development of specialized tissues and organs.


Are protist biger than bacteria?

Yes, protists are generally larger than bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms, while protists can vary in size from microscopic single-celled organisms to larger multicellular organisms.


Do eukaryotes cells have single cell organisms?

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.

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.

Size.

Yes, protists are generally larger than bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms, while protists can vary in size from microscopic single-celled organisms to larger multicellular organisms.


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.


What size is a many-celled organism?

A many-celled organism can vary greatly in size depending on the species. For example, humans are many-celled organisms and can range in size from a few centimeters to over two meters tall. Other many-celled organisms, like elephants, can be even larger.


Which are the smallest protists?

The smallest protists are typically single-celled organisms known as picoplankton. These tiny protists can be as small as 0.2 micrometers in size, making them some of the smallest eukaryotic organisms on Earth.
