Difference between unicellular and multicellular:
Unicellular:
- Single-celled organisms
- Organelles are not membrane-bound
- Cellular functions or processes undertaken only by the single cell
- The lone single cell is directly exposed to the environment
- Lifespan is Shorter
- Visible only under a microscope
- Transportation of nutrients - Simple diffusion
- Asexual reproduction - Binary fission
- Sexual reproduction - Conjugation
- Examples - Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena.
Multicellular:
- Organisms with multiple cells.
- Membrane-bound organelles
- Multicellular well-differentiated organ systems that perform specific functions.
- Only the external cells are exposed to the environment.
- Lifespan is Longer
- Visible through naked eyes
- Transportation of nutrients - Diffusion and active and passive transport
- Asexual reproduction - Asexual
- Sexual reproduction - Gamete production
- Examples - Animals and plants.
