Unicellular organisms can obtain oxygen through simple diffusion from their environment, such as from water in the case of aquatic organisms. This process allows the oxygen to pass directly through their cell membrane and into their cytoplasm where it can be used for cellular respiration.

How do unicellular get oxygen?

Unicellular protists, also known as micro-organisms, need oxygen to survive. They obtain oxygen by diffusing it across the cell membrane into the cell.


What is the scientific name for unicellular?

The scientific term for unicellular organisms is "unicellular organisms" or "unicellular organisms."


Unicellular organisms obtain oxygen and dissolved substances from their surroundings by?

Unicellular organisms obtain oxygen and dissolved substances through diffusion. This process allows molecules to passively move across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This is how unicellular organisms can intake essential nutrients and eliminate waste products.


How are unicellular organisms and multicelllular organisms alike?

Cells do the same, or very similar things, whether they are part of a unicellular organism or a multicellular organism; they have a metabolism, they consume nutrients and oxygen, they have waste products, etc.

Did unicellular or multicellular organisms evolve first?

Unicellular organisms evolved first; and from them evolved the multicellular organisms. But that leads onto another question as to why multicellular organisms evolved.


Can unicellular organisms breathe using their cell?

If they're not using their cell, I'm not sure what else they would be using. There's only one cell to be used. If you're asking whether there is a "breathing mechanism" within the cell, then the answer is no. Unicellular organisms don't need an extensive respiratory system like multicellular organisms. Moreover, unicellular organisms couldn't "breathe" because no organelle supports such a thing. Instead, unicellular organisms get oxygen just through diffusion. Because unicellular organisms are small, the diffusion of oxygen into the cell is sufficient for cell respiration. In contrast, larger multicellular organisms can't obtain oxygen through diffusion alone because the oxygen couldn't "get" to every cell.
