How does the movement of materials across the cell membrane relate to an organism's survival?

A cell has to have some thing moving across it or the cell will most certanly die.


Why are the levels in multicellular organisms not used to describe unicellular?

The levels in multicellular organisms are not used to describe unicellular organisms because they are not very similar to the other levels. They contain different characteristics so they need their own sub levels.


Most common unicellular organism?

The egg of a species is the largest of the unicellular organisms.Syringammina fragilissima is the largest single-celled organism known, at up to 20 centimetre (8 in) across. It was the first xenophyophore to be described, after being discovered in 1882 by the oceanographer John Murray.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringammina_fragilissima


Distinguishing features of Kingdom Protista?

Kingdom Prokaryotae can be distinguished by: * Prokayotic cell structure * lack the nuclei and chromosomes of eukaryotic cells and have smaller ribosomes * Have tendency to spread genetic element across species barriers by sexual conjugation viral transduction, etc. * produce rapidly by binary fission and absence of sex * evolved variety of metabolism types * taxonomically identified by their appearance and biochemical differences


What is the building block of both unicellular and multicelluar organisms?

Cell - fundamental unit of biology, building block of all organisms1) Unicellular: 1 cell = 1 organism2) Multicellular: 1036 cells = 1 organism, different cells for differentfunctions, exhibit division of laborC) Diversity of cells1) Different types of unicellular organisms (Paramecium and Amoeba)2) Different types of cells in multicellular organisms(muscle, skeletal, immune, lungs, epithelium, etc...)D) Classification of cells1) Two major groups - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes2) Differences: Prokaryotes - smaller size, simple structure(no membrane bound organelles, no nucleus, DNA in asingle strand), primitive (old group of organisms,nearest relatives of first living organisms)E) Structural and functional differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes F) Movement across cell membranes1) Passive transport (no energy)diffusion 2) Active transportactive transport with ATPexocytosis and endocytosis3) Effects of tonicity

What is the difference between a single celled organism circulatory system and a humans circulatory system?

Unicellular: Exchanges occur directly with enviroment Multicellular: Diffusion is not possible unless diffusion across body surface. Transporting substances over long distance in animals.


Who were the first terrestrial multicellular organism?

Still in debate, so no correct answer for this question now. Could be certain bacteria which incorporated other bacteria into their own cells (leading explaination to eukaryotic evolution and mitochondria), in an evolutionary goal to be more efficient.
