Fungi are examples of multicellular eukaryotes that absorb nutrients from organic materials in their environment. They obtain nutrients through a process called external digestion, where they secrete enzymes to break down complex organic matter and then absorb the resulting smaller molecules. This unique mode of nutrition allows fungi to play a crucial role in decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Some unicellular eukaryotes, such as yeast, also exhibit similar absorptive nutrition.
Unicellular organisms exchange materials primarily through diffusion across their cell membrane, allowing nutrients, gases, and waste products to move in and out directly. In contrast, multicellular organisms utilize specialized systems, such as the circulatory system, to transport materials throughout their bodies, facilitating efficient exchange between cells and their environment. Additionally, multicellular organisms may rely on mechanisms like osmosis and active transport to regulate material exchange at a cellular level. This complexity allows for greater size and specialization in multicellular life.
Unicellular organisms are small and have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for efficient diffusion of materials in and out of the cell. Their simple structure and small size means they can rely on diffusion to transport materials within the cell and with their environment without the need for a complex transport system like that found in multicellular organisms.
A heterotrophic eukaryote that absorbs nutrients from organic materials in the environment is most likely a fungus. Fungi are known to decompose organic matter and absorb nutrients through their mycelium, which allows them to play a crucial role in nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
characteristics of a living organism: 1. cell (basic unit) 2. reproduce 3. all based on universal genetic code DNA 4. grow and develop 5. obtain and use materials and energy (metabolism) 6. respond to a stimulus (environment) 7. maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis) 8. evolve: that's how they change over time. only AS A GROUP. an individual cannot evolve. should only change in the entire species ;D ( from yahoo answers)
Simple unicellular organisms exchange materials through processes like diffusion and osmosis across their cell membrane. They transport materials within them using cytoplasmic streaming, which involves the movement of cytoplasm to distribute materials throughout the cell. Some organisms also have specialized structures, like contractile vacuoles, for regulating the movement of materials within the cell.
An absorptive heterotroph.
Unicellular organisms exchange materials through diffusion or active transport across their cell membrane. Multicellular organisms exchange materials through specialized structures like respiratory and circulatory systems that transport gases and nutrients throughout the body, as well as through cellular communication and coordination.

Neither. Rag dolls are not alive so it's as meaningless to ask if they are multicellular as it is to ask the same question about a brick or an iron nail. If they are infested with bugs or molds, the infestation might me multi-cellular. The materials they are made from may have come a plant or animal that was multi-cellular - but the dolls are not. Well - I suppose the "Rag Doll" of the Aerosmith song was multicellular... ---- The "ragdoll" (one word) is also a breed of cat. Cats, of course, are multicellular like humans.
All living things have cells. some organisms can be unicellular (only having one cell that undergoes mitosis to reproduce and to get larger it grows). or an organism can be multicellular (having many cells. in multicellular organisms, more cells keep being made to replace old and dead cells). all living things need energy. some obtain energy from other organisms (hetrotrophic) or get energy on their own (autotrophic). organisms get obtain materials from its environment and prepares if for use through ingestion (taking materials in) , digestion (breaking down food) , and egestion (removal of undigested food). another element is that they have the ability to maintain homeostasis, and respond to stimuli. (change in environment's)
No, lysosomes are not multicellular. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms, and they function to break down waste materials and cellular debris. Each individual cell contains many lysosomes.
To transport materials throughout the body.
Some materials like plastic are bad for the environment.
