Many different cells can live on their own and in many different ways. Unicellular algae and phytoplankton are single celled autotrophs (make their own food) that are photosynthetic. Yeast, used in baking and brewing, is a fungus that eats sugars and produces CO2 (causes bread to rise) and alcohol. There is also a whole kingdom called Protista that is mostly unicellular, which includes amoebas, parameciums, euglenas and many more with widely varying methods of survival. Some can be plant-like (euglena), animal-like (paramecium and amoebas), and fungus-like (slime molds). There are even protists that eat other protists! There are many possibilities!

Is it possible for a single cell to live its own?

yes because of all the amoeba in the ocean. The single celled organism is the simplest out their.


Is it possible for a single cell to live on its own wh or why no?

Yes, a single cell can live on its own, as demonstrated by unicellular organisms like bacteria and amoebas. These cells possess all the necessary components to carry out essential life processes, such as metabolism, reproduction, and response to environmental stimuli. However, multicellular organisms rely on the cooperation of specialized cells, which cannot survive independently.


Can a single cell live independently on its own .explain by giving example?

Yes, a single cell can live independently on its own, as seen in unicellular organisms like bacteria and amoebas. These organisms possess all the necessary cellular machinery to perform essential life functions such as metabolism, reproduction, and response to environmental stimuli. For example, an E. coli bacterium can thrive on its own in various environments, obtaining nutrients and replicating without relying on other cells.


What is a name for a cell that can live on its own that starts with a o?

One example of a cell that can live on its own is an "organelle." Organelles are found inside eukaryotic cells and perform specific functions to keep the cell alive and functioning properly.


What is the difference between paramecium and elodea cells?

Elodea Is a multicellular celled organism, paramecium is a single organism Another thing is that Elodea (being multicellular) can not survive on its own while on the other hand paramecium can
