Of course! All life on the planet began originally from single cell (or unicellular) organisms.
An example of a single cell organism would be a bacterium (e.g. E. Coli) or an amoeba.
There are many, many different types of unicellular organisms, found in all sorts of place. In the soil, underwater, one your toilet seat - even in your own body.
Using bacteria (just one of many types of unicellular organism) as an example, for every one cell in the human body, there are roughly 10 foreign unicellular organisms counting bacteria alone. And there are 500-1000 different types of bacteria just in your gut! The other main location for bacteria to be found in the body is the mouth, which is teeming with foreign unicellular organisms.
Bear in mind of course, bacteria are only one type of unicellular organism. All prokaryotes (cells that lack membrane bound organelles - as opposed to eukaryotes which do have membrane bound organelles, all human body cells are eukaryotic) most protists, and some fungi are unicellular too.
Unicellular organisms are not only important in that they were the first ever living organisms to inhabit our planet, they are hugely important for sustaining life today. Without them, the human race could not survive!

For what group of organisms is cell division a form on reproduction?
Cell division is a form of reproduction for unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and protists. In these organisms, a single cell divides to create offspring.
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.
How do unicellular organisms differ from single cells?
Unicellular organisms are complete living entities consisting of a single cell that carries out all life processes, while a single cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms. Essentially, all unicellular organisms are single cells, but not all single cells are complete unicellular organisms.
What living things in your body is composed of only one cell?
Some examples of living things in the body that are composed of only one cell include bacteria and certain types of single-celled organisms such as protists and yeast. These single-celled organisms can be found in various parts of the body, such as the skin, gut, and mouth.
Organism composed of a single cell are whereas organism composed more than one cell are?
Organisms composed of a single cell are called unicellular organisms, such as bacteria and yeast. Organisms composed of more than one cell are called multicellular organisms, such as plants, animals, and fungi.
Do all living things have at least 100 cells?
No, there are living single cell organisms
What are the most single cell organisms?
The Cell
Are bacteria single-cell or multi-cellular organisms?
Single-cell
For what group of organisms is cell division a form on reproduction?
Cell division is a form of reproduction for unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and protists. In these organisms, a single cell divides to create offspring.
What are single organisms?
well I don't know about single organisms but single celled organisms are of coarse organisms with only one cell
Are bacteria multi or single cell?
Bacteria are single-celled organisms
How does a single celled organisms?
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.
Are jellyfish single-cell organisms?
No.
What are the differences between single cell organisms and multi cell organisms?
Single-cell organisms, like bacteria and yeast, are composed of a single cell that can carry out all the functions necessary for survival. In contrast, multi-cellular organisms, like plants and animals, are made up of more than one cell that are specialized to perform different functions. Multi-cellular organisms have a higher level of complexity and organization compared to single-cell organisms.
Why does cell division take place in single cell organisms?
Cell division takes place in single-celled organisms to reproduce and pass on genetic information.
Do all organisms begin as a single cell-?
Yes, all organisms begin as a single-celled zygote. Then they undergo meiosis and mitosis to replicate if they are multicellular or stay the same if they are single celled organisms.
Can a organisim have 1 cell?
There are single cell organisms such as bacteria.
